Time4Me,

I live in Spokane,WA. I got my lapband on 12/21/05 in Post Falls, ID. What part of Washington do you live in?

I am on the Coast about 55 miles from Olympia.

What doctors are you going to?

I'm going to Dr. Rumbaut in Monterrey, MX.

It seems legit, since he worked for Inamed and offers you an Inamed card with an ID# for your band. The package is $10,600.

You live out by longbeach?

I went to UWMC for my band...fairly new program, longer history with by-pass, but on my insurance plan, so that made the choice a little easier.

I am 3 months post-op, down 41 lbs since surgery, 54 pounds total, and couldn't be happier!

Great to know there are so many WA and NW folks here!

I too am being banded at UWMC. I think it will be late September/early October. They seem to have a great staff - I am getting anxious!!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
