You have a Band Buddy in NW FL eagerly awaiting your outcome. You will love Band Land just follow the rules and you'll do well. Two hours after surgery they had me walking the halls at the hospital. Next day released from hospital and flew back home across the country. I was very tired, but would gladly to it over again. So worth it. Hugs, Nancy Bender if lovely Panama City Beach

Joyfulnan@comcast.net if you need to speak to me privately.

Take a heating pad, gas x stripes with and adult liquid tylenol.

Looking for a band buddy

I was banded Jan 15, 2008. I have lost 35 pounds so far which feels fantastic. I am trying to be a good bandster but I keep sabotaging my own efforts. I am in control and losing weight then I want to just eat. It's like I don't want to be successful in my subconscious or something. Looking for someone who has struggled and been successful.

I was banded 1-24-08. I just had another fill today b/c I wasn't losing. OK - I'll be honest - I was taking in a lot of "slider foods" that went down too easily. Joining this site is a re-commitment for me. I have to remember that I'm not cheating anyone other than myself.

Hi. Where were you banded? How much have you lost so far? Tell me about yourself. I am a retired teacher. My husband just had lapband too. We are self pay. What about you?

I need a buddy also! I seem to have lost all motivation. I have stopped exercising completely, I bought new clothes that are too small now, and I just eat things that I know I am not suppose to! I worked so hard to loose the first 50 pounds now I don't know what happened. It's like I just don't care anymore.

Somebody give me a swift kick in the butt to help me get back on track! (I think that's what I need)

I feel the same way. I have lost about 50lbs and I look in the mirror and I ask where the difference I dont see any so I have found myself eating a little worse here lately.

We just have to get it in our heads that we want to continue to lose the weight!!

I think it is easy to get back into old habits once the band has been in place for a while. Sometimes I have to go back to one day at a time and start charting again. That seems to help me get back on track.

      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?
