U r getting the band or plication, do not want to scare u but I have a few friends that got the band n had nothing but trouble, vomiting, hard to drink, they all have the plication now and find it way better

I am headed to Tijuana to have plication next week. Dr Ortiz is doing the proceedure on Tuesday the 17th! Very Excited!! 10 pounds off so far on pre-op

Awesome will be thinking about u, I am going into My 6th week, down 31lbs, down from size 20 to a14 already, love my sleeve, it is so strange to only eat a small amount and be so full. I eat all my meals off a sandwich plate, that way it looks like I have lots of food on it but weird that I only eat half of it,lol. My hubby says that is all u r eating,lol, As he goes for seconds,

Gl and will be looking for your posts once u r up and atom.

U will get there 1 morning u will wake up and go holy smokes, I am down sizes, I know when I tried my 14 pants I cried, when they fit, I was omg, u will get there, smile no sad faces, only happy faces, :)

Thank you for the encouraging words. So what kind of things are you eating? Have you over eatin at all? Have you cheated? I am asking cause I have. I struggle with food soooooooo much that sometimes I think I will always be fat and this will not work for me.

This is a long time out.. since April...I am now down 53 pounds...went from size 18 to a size 12...and very happy. Need to lose another 25 ish....It has really slowed down now..lost only 8 pounds for the month of July. but I have already lost 2 pounds for April..so it is still coming off! I know I can eat a little more....obviously..and I have cheated many times..The difference now is that my cheating amount is soooo much less. (example.. instead of eating 15 cookies..I only eat one or two. But I hope everyone of us keeps our faith....take our time..be patient! Life is so much better with this weight off. I can't wait to get my next physical and see the new stats on my blood tests. We will all be so much better off!

I have lap band. It slipped and we are removing it and going with the sleeve. My surgery got moved from March to July. Need someone who can give me support on the pre- diet until my surgery so I don't regain weight. I am working out a food plan. Hope I can stick to it and not graze. I currently have no restriction from the band due to how it angled when it slipped.
