NEED A BUDDY/MENTOR



Recommended Posts

I am going on October 7, 2014 to have my lapband revised, cause I have developed a hernia that has slipped my band. I was originally 292 lbs but lost 137 lbs and then got sick with brain cancer and lost about 40 more lbs so I was at 115 lbs. But had looked very sickly, I have since put back on almost 70 lbs. So when I have this revision done I am going to need some help. I am looking to lose maybe 20 to 30 lbs after this revision.

I am a 38 yr old female who is married with a wonderful husband and two beautiful children. I am a stay at home mother, and I live in Jeffersonville, Indiana.

Thank you

April

Hi April. I had a similar situation with my band back in April and had it revised. I am 38 as well...not married but live with my BF and his 2 kids and my son. I was originally banded in May 2007 and since being revised things have been different. I am having a really gard time loosing the weight i have put on over the last 2years. I am trying to exercise everyday but somedays is harder then others. But with that if you need to talk or want the support from someone with a similiar situation im here for you.

Good Luck

Danielle

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
