After Reading Everyone Elses Experience With The Lap-band Im Very Excited To Finally Have A Date Set. I'm A Little Worried Aboout That 30 Days After Sugery Where There Will Be No Restrictions For A Couple Of Weeks But I Just Can't Wait. I Think That Its Just A Dream And That Its Never Gonna Happen. Well Wish Me Luck!!

Good for you! I hope its a good experience for you. If you haven't heard about the Book Fighting Weight By K. Ali (One of Mohamed Ali's daughters) it is great. She is the new spokeperson for the Lap Band Co. It has good info. and tells her personal journey (and her surgeion's). Get it if you can. I got mine at Barnes and Nobel. It would make a good recovery read! Good luck!

Congrats! My surgery is June 21st. I have been reading all the post about no restrictions too and my advice would be to follow the diet the Dr. prescribed and think about the band. Practice eating for your new lifestyle. Chew, chew, chew...

I have the same date--tomorrow; I'm psyched. Friends keep asking me if I'm nervous--maybe I should be, but, just getting to this point, I've gone from size 22 jeans to 20's and I'm almost ready for 18's. Once upon a time, a very short time, mind you, I was in size 8's. I'm looking forward to that again. I wish you all the luck. We made a good decision. Keep us all posted.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
