:smile: Hello everyone. I had the lap band done in June of 2002 and lost 207 lbs, but then over the last 2 years, put 70 back on. I went back to by Dr (Dr Jeffrey Holloway, whom I love) and started having fluid put back in my band, only to have it all taken out again due to a hiatal hernia, which I had fixed Jan 29, 2008 and also had the band moved to make the pouch smaller. I have lost 9 lbs in the last 2 weeks and am looking forward to having fluid put back in my band to help me towards getting back to my goal weight. I have had absolutely no problems with my band and I love it. It has been a great life safer for me (literally)

Hi Glenda and welcome! We are glad you found us. It sounds like everything is back on track for you and you are doing well. We look forward to getting to know you better.

I hope I can achieve close to your goal. I'm looking to lose about 130 pounds. Do you thing i can do it? I had the surgery 1/18/2008 in UVA in Virginia. I'm real inspired of what you have personally accomplished. I'm focused and determined to meet my goal. I have lost 25 pounds thusfar.

105 pounds to go... Keep me in your prayers and your words of encouragement would be nice.

Take care and stay healthy. Marlon...

Welcome to LBT! It sounds like you are back on track. Congrats on the great w/s!

Welcome Glenda,

I am also from Nebraska. Where did you have your surgery? I am just now starting my lap band journey. Did find out that my health insurance will not cover a thing. Now what? Have a great day.
