Happy lapbanders only!



Recommended Posts

Please... I just want one thread that has good things to say about lapbands...

There are many horror stories on other posts. Just not here please.

I’m happy 11 years later.... lost about 90 lbs. kept off 70...

I need my tool. Emptied, I put on 25 and didn’t change too many habits.

I’m back with fills and life goes merrily along!!

I love my band I have been able to keep my weight off by being diligent and exercise. I bike a lot and during the winter do a lot of spin. No complications at all, keep it pretty tight but that is what I need to do to stay in control. A couple of times my weight started to creep up but I put the brakes on and go back to plan. Retiring in May bought a new road bike for my retirement and do a lot of gardening. Life is GREAT!

Well. Not too many happy banders here.

(After 11 years I was Unfilled and have recently had 2 small fills). It is still working!! Which means I am trying..

And why does food taste better at 10 at night?

This underfill works for me most often.

Best to all that try.

I am still a Happy Lap-bander. I rarely talk about online anymore. I was unfilled in March and it has been a slow process of small fills to get restriction back. I am thinking the next fill will get me back where I want to be. I will have some time this weekend and want to check out the forums to refresh my mind on the basics as I have put back on a few pounds while unfilled. Where do the lapbanders post most?

Some post here. But it is a bit sluggish at times.
Sadly, many not -happy banders around as well for many reasons.
Not sure of other sites I believe Facebook has some groups.
. It is a very special dance I must follow to not irritate my band. I drink Protein Shakes and exercise....and
Try!! I fail also!
Hoping You will remember the high Protein from the last round.
Best of luck!

      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!!

      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
