I get banded on Monday



Recommended Posts

Hi!

This is my first time here. A friend recommended it. I get my lapband on Monday, Oct 25th. I live in Michigan and have Dr. Zoe Deol. I can't wait for it, yet pray I won't fail - again. My family is very supportive, yet afraid something will go wrong. I believe in prayer and that gives me strength.

I've heard great things about Dr. Deol! Best of luck to you on the beginning of your "new life"! You won't fail! Yes, prayer does give you strength! Sending (((hugs))) and prayers to you for an uneventful surgery and minimum pain recovery. We look forward to getting to know you better here.

Congratulations. I am happy for you. I am new to the board too. My surgery is scheduled for November 30 and I am excited and somewhat scared too.

I found so much helpful information as you search and read historical posts. The personal experience and insight is invaluable as we newbies prepare for our new life. I have so appreciated all these people and feel already like they are friends; I know you will gain strength and knowledge from these posts too.

Please keep us posted on your recovery and your journey to health and renewed energy. God bless you. Terry

Lucky you! I WAS scheduled for Nov 18, but since I'm the 1st to be banded in my area, experienced, (I hope very) are being flown in to assist my dr. They couldn't make the 18th so it's been moved to Dec 6th. Quite a bummer, I am so ready and psyched, or I was. Stay in touch...Pat in VA

      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!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
