My one year band-Anniversary!



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone..

Actually yesterday was my one year anniversary for being banded (Sept 11th), but I didnt get a chance to log on. I dont get to the boards too often between work and kids, etc etc, but just wanted to say thank you to everyone on here because I couldnt have had such a successful year without the tips and invaluable information I have learned on this board!!

Here are a couple of pics. The first one is from Aug 2006, where I was about 230. The second is from Monday (Sep 10th), my son's first day of kindergarten!

Congratulations on your success with the lap band! You are such a great example of the results that we all want to achieve.

Do you have any tips or suggestiions for those of us that are at 6-9 months post op? I'm currently at a plateau and feel really frustrated. I would be thrilled to lose more weight before my band-anniversary.

Congratulations again!

Terry

Make that my 2 YEAR Band-Anniversary!

Wow. I cant believe it has been two years today since I had my band placed!!!

I have been quite busy and away from the forums for a long time, but thought I would post an update today..

The band has changed my life in such a positive way. I am happier, healthier, and just enjoying life!

Here is a current pic taken a couple of weeks ago at Disneyworld!

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
