Hello Everyone :0)

I Read Up On Lapband And Have Now Decided It Maybe For Me. Looks Like It's 99.9% Risk Free...i Go To My Seminar On April 19th...i Was Been Supposed To Attend But They Kept Canceling It. I Was Expecting To Be Banded By The Summer...hopefully I Will. I Know I Wont Reach My Goal Weight This Summer But Next Summer Hopefully I Can Be Rockin. I Am Concered About Scars...i Have Light stretch marks Already But I Dont Want A Major Scar Like Gastric Bypass.

Pray For Me Everyone....lets Hope This Is The Answer To My Prayers Of 20yrs...i'm Tired Of Being The Laughing Stalk Or Outcast When I Go Places. I Want To Be Happy And Look Normal. Of Course Like Many Of You Here I Tried All The Prgrams..atkins Was My Most Successful To Date But Im Tired Of The Slowwww Progression And Eating The Samethings. There Is One Person Who Thinks I Should Stay 454 Pounds...got To Be Kidding Right? This Person Tries To Tell Me I Can Be Big And Healthy....enough Is Enough.

Wish Me Luck!

Good luck. It's been the best for me but I am rather new. Maybe you should chat with some of the folks that have experienced this from the

higher BMI's. Just ask, they'll answer!

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
