My name is Jennifer, and I am new to this. I have struggled with weight issues my whole life. Upon hearing about Lapband, I decided to go online and see how it was working for others. Although I was very hesitate about having any type of surgery, yall's heartfelt success stories encouraged me to take the next step. My surgery is next week! I'm overwhelmed with nervousness, but mostly excitement! Just wanted to say thank you ladies and gentleman for sharing your stories, Each and every one of you are my role models :)

Just stopping by to say don't be nervous, as we have all went though that and you have been doing your research and reading some of our post , so I just know I made the right decision for me to get banded and be healthy, just remember it is not easy as some people may think and follow your Docs. orders and instructions and you will be fine and do good, so welcome to band land and the start of a new journey in life.

Welcome to the family! You have landed amongst very knowledgable and friendly people. Everyone will be here to support you along the way.

Having the surgery was the single best decision I've ever made for myself. No regrets! It's not all roses and butterflies, but the struggles are worth it. Take deep breaths when the nerves start kicking in. It will be OK. Remind yourself of all the positive changes in your life that start now and will continue going forward.

Number one rule....follow your doctor's orders and ask questions of them! We are here to offer the encouragement and the support...the doctor has the medical advice.

I'm excited for you!

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
