My name is Ada and I just got lap-band surgery almost two weeks ago and I have really no one to talk to about it so I was excited to find this forum. It's been hard because I am just feeling down, not about the surgery but I just have no one to talk to like I said.

Anyway, I hope to see you all around.

Hi Adabell,

Welcome to LBT! :ranger: You never have to be alone when you are on this forum. You will find many friends here that will help you on your way and if you need someone else to talk to just pm me and I will try to help. I have suffered from depression for about 15 years so I do understand how you feel.

Take care,

Hi Ada, Welcome & Congratulations on your band and weight loss.

Sorry that you are feeling alone but you don't have to worry about that now that you have found us here @ LBT. I don't have my band yet but I have found this site to be most helpful as I move through the process towards getting it.

Well, if you need someone to talk to you have come to the right place! Welcome, and feel free to bear your soul whenever the need arises. Everyone is very supportive and understanding from what I have seen so far. I am a big talker and have discussed the plan to be banded Oct. 1 with all of my co-workers and family so it feels great to talk about it. My DH, on the other hand wants to keep his band private and has not told his co-workers or family of his plans. To each his own, right? Welcome! and I am looking forward to talking to you more.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
