Is there anyone out there with a February surgery date? I found out last week that mine is on February 1. Was shooting for December 06, then hoping for January 07, now thankful it's finally set for February! My surgery is scheduled with Dr. Malley in Kansas City.

Is this forum still active. I am interested to see what others banded in February 07are doing. Doddie

Well,

I should be working out, but not..... I need to I'm at a stand still with my weight.:cool2:

Here's the link AGAIN for the May exercise challenge. http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f89/feb-0...05/#post821993 (Feb '07 Bandsters May Exercise Challenge)

Everyone keeps saying they need to exercise more, so put your money where your mouth is, and CHALLENGE YOURSELF TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!

Hi everyone just checking in on my fellow Feb. 2007 bandsters. My weight loss has been slow, but I am happy with it.

You've hit onerderland and that's great! I wouldn't consider your weight loss slow for a band. My dr has the band and lost 100, but he thinks that's all he's ever going to lose, but I don't believe that do you? He says he's plateaued. thank goodness I don't go to him for band support. My loss has been slow and I haven't had a fill in a year due to esophagus issues, but I'm hoping to get a fill in June. Have a great day!

good luck with the fill Rebecca. You've done well without one.

I've plateau several times. I takes me about 3 months to loose 5 lbs. Even with slow weightloss, I love my band!

Hi there everyone,

I'm new on this site so still trying to find my way round. I was banded in February 2007. Glad to have finally found this site!

We do not have any support groups here in Dubai so this is really it for me!

I have lost 66 lbs since my operation. I have stopped losing weight due to being lazy and just not watching what I eat, hopefully joining this site will motivate me and get me back on track....:thumbup:

I glad you found this site, it's help me out alot with useful information. Maybe you need another adj to start losing wight again? Drink at least 64 oz of water a day. :thumbup:

I think the first thing I am going to do is call my Dr. and try to find out how much I have been filled etc...I honestly don't keep track. I never knew I had to! when I get all the information I'll post it just like you have Wally girl.

Hi Everyone,

Teacher here, just wanted to post a quick hello. When I was first banded I couldn't get enough of this website. But, since I've lost weight, I can't get enough LIVING in to make up for the past Non-living I've done!!!

Hope everyone is doing fine.

Forgot to add my ticker.....I'm so happy with my weight loss. I still love my band. Can you believe I've only had ONE FILL. What a lucky girl I am!!!

I have learned that if you keep track you can see what works for you. I was unfilled two weeks ago and wait until June 12 for an upper GI, then maybe at that time they will refill me again and I can start losing weight..... I hope this happens! PS. I need to start working out, this website has a place where we can go to join in on working out.

Okay, it’s past time to start June's Exercise Challenge. I’ll take the lead. This month will be a Choose-Your-Own-Challenge…just follow the link for details! Come be accountable for your own fitness progress and help motivate the rest of us, too!

My band is frustrating me. After one year I had a good EGD and went in for my fill. I began with 2.6 cc and they brought me up to 2.8 cc. Over the weekend I began throwing up liquids and have acid reflux. I went back in and they removed saline bringing me down to 2.2 cc. where liquid would begin flowing again. The good news is no acid reflux, I can eat again and I still feel restriction. Over those 5 days I lost 7 lbs! Fickle, Fickle, Fickle! But it's all good.

Glad you're doing better now, Boy 7 pound is great, what a way to do...... Your doing great, one year goes by fast........

Rebecca: It's great to have those fast losses when the band is too tight. The problem I've found with keeping the band too tight is that you start eating all the wrong things because they go down easiest (i.e., icecream--the Devil's food!!!) Glad to learn you're doing better.
