Hi Everyone! :)

I have been interested in the LapBand for about a year and half. In the past 6 years since having my daughter, I have been battling with my weight. I don't even remember what it is like to be thin the way that I used to be. Finally this past June I went to a seminar to find out more information about the procedure. I had never in the past considered weight loss surgery an option for me until I gained an additional 50 pounds since January 2006.

So, today was my first meeting with the surgeon and I am on my way to success!!

My surgery is scheduled for April 24 and I am very anxious to have my "old" body back.

I look forward to talking with others and hearing about experiences.

Hello,

Grats on your surgery date. I was banded Jan 18th 2007 in Mexico By Dr Kuri. I have lost 21 lbs so far and just had my first fill March 15th. I love the lap-band life, but the first 4-6 weeks are hell. Just to let ya know, lol. BUT IT IS SO WORTH IT... I feel like a new person. Not just because I'm losing weight, but because I have energy and knowing I have the band encourages me to want to eat healthy and exercise more. It does change you for the better inside and out.... GOOD LUCK!!

      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.
