Do a search on Lopez and Ortiz on this site. That should answer most if not all your questions. But I would be happy to fill you in on my experience of Lopez if you PM me.

I dont know if this will help you.. but its what I am feeling.

I would tell anyone in my condition (mind and body) to go.

But I dont know what your circumstances are.

I happened to be at the end of my rope. I had to just go for it, I got money from back pay SSI.. the only money I would ever have in the world EVER (my insurence excluded it and there was no way around paying cash though I had many co morbidities)

I found my doctor in one day on the internet and I made an appointment.

Then I went. I hardly even talked to anyone. Up until the minute I went to the hospital I wondered if it was all a scam to get my money.. LOL

The thing is:

Well, I didnt care if I died.. I didnt care what happened to me at all..

All I knew is I HAD TO DO IT, DO IT QUICK and NOT think too much about it and not listen to anyone about what they thought either.. I was too affraid it wouldnt happen andthat was not an option anymore.

Its not that I thought it was safe and I was invinsible... ITS just that I truely did not care. Everyone who was concerned and wanted me to do research, I scoffed at becasue It didnt matter to me at all.

I made a will and truely knew it was OK if I died.. it was fine.. the kids and everyone would go on just fine and I would no longer be a burdon.

NOW that I am loosing and seeing that I may really have a life after all..

Its a different story!

I dont want my lapband to erode or slip or anything and I CANT stanf the thought of it happening... I will fight for my self now.. no matter what happens..

I do know I will never have money like that again BUT maybe I will have outstanding bills.?? I dunno, but If my band messes up.. ITS tHE BYPASS FOR ME!! I DONT CARE if its not a good idea.. it's permanant.

anyway..

thats my rant

I am constantly amazed that the Band not only helps one drop pounds, but it is apperntly the fountian of youth as well! When I got home I show this thread to my son, and he is convinced there is no way all your before pix belong to your afters.

I can't wait to have my own after pix!

Thanks for being inspiring in so many ways,

Jonathan

      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? 🤷‍♀️
