Welcome Trina. You have come to the right place to get answers. Where in Georgia do you live? You usually have to start by attending a lapband seminar hosted by your local hospital and doctors.

Hi Trina! This is a good place to start for information. There are a lot of Georgians here that will be happy to help you. Maybe some of us can help you out a little more once we know where you live. Good luck!!

Hi everyone!

I had my first fill today and things went great. The nurse said I was doing very well. I've lost a total of 38.5 lbs. I have a 10cc band and she only put 2cc's in it. She said she likes to start out with a small amount and evaluate every two week to see if I need an adjustment. The fill was slightly painful but not too terribly bad. I'm excited to get to start eating solids in a few days (I'm on liquids for 3 days and then I'll progress to solids). Thanks everyone for all the support.

Pamela,

Concrats!! Sounds like you are doing great.

This is on a totally different subject, but I think I told yall that we are in the process of adopting a little boy. We got him when he was 2 months old. He is 11 months old now. We will finalize his adoption on Monday. Since we got him we have become foster parents. Our social worker called this afternoon and we are going to get a 2 week old little boy on Monday afternoon!!!! WOW!! We just completed our certification. Was not planning for one this little this quick. I am only 1 week post op and I will have 2 who can't walk. God does have a sense of humor.

Feeling both overwhelmed and blessed!!!

      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... :(
