Banded November 2005 ?



Recommended Posts

Hello Everyone,

I would just like to know anyone out there who was banded 1 year and a half ago like me and am wondering if :

1. Did you ever made it to goal and what is your goal date

2. If you have had any obstacles

3. Do you still have your band

4. How much did you lose

5. Are you still maintaining your weight loss?

Myself?

My surgery date was Nov. 10, 2005.

Weight was 251 and I am now 137, weight loss 114 lbs

I was a size 22 and am now a size 4-6

I made it to goal July 25, 2006

I never had any obstacles and I still have my band and I never had a fill during the whole weight loss process.

I will have maintained my weight for 1 year on July 25, 2007 and that day is coming by very quickly.

I am so happy that I did this and only wish I new about it sooner. It is the best thing that I ever did in my lifetime except marrying my husband who I love and adore.

I had a Tummy Tuck May 9th and a breast lift also and am doing very well. I am still quite swollen but that comes with the territory.

I wish everyone great success with their new and old journey. Life sure is wonderful.

Josephine

I must say, I'm not proud at all about my results. I know I can do so much better. I manipulate my band, drink while eating and don't eat Protein first. I'm coming back to this website to get support I'm lacking.

1. Did you ever made it to goal and what is your goal date - Haven't made it to my goal weight....real far from it!

2. If you have had any obstacles - So many, manipulation!!!

3. Do you still have your band - yes, I pray one day I'll get it together

4. How much did you lose - 30 lbs

5. Are you still maintaining your weight loss? yes

My mouth is wide open right now, as I was reading your post, my jaw dropped when I read you made it to goal by July 2006 - less than a year!

Congratulations - AND YOU HAVE NO FILL? OMG, your doing so great, your truly an inspiration for all of us Bandsters. Share your secret - what did you eat, did you exercise? how much did you eat? Come one, tell us more pleeeeeeze.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
