Hello!

I just stumbled across this site and wish I had found it earlier! I am six days post op and am doing well! The liquid diet kind of sucks, but I have lost 12 pounds since surgery. I look forward to talking to anyone who is a newby like me and all of the old hands at the lap band.

Everybody looses weight from a post surgery food diet, lapband or not...just don't get alarmed if you start to gain it back once you start eating regular food again.....just as you did before surgery.

For me, real weight loss did not start till about 3 months after surgery, after 3 fills....until then, the band was doing next to nothing. It all came down to my own will power and old fashion dieting...which I cannot do with any success....that is why I had the surgery!

In any event, congratulations, and know this...in spite of all the negative posts people will write here, this thing does work, and can be that magic bullet for some doing what I could never do on my own.

For me, it WAS the easy way out...and I am glad I did it!! (but the first 4 months were pure hell !)

This surgery is life-changing. Lost 92 lbs in less than 6 months. I had Gastric Bypass and it's given me my life back. You won't regret it!

      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?
