Hi, I am currently living in TN for the last 2 yrs but moved here from Appleton,WI. Was born and raised in Milwaukee. Had my band here in TN 11/9/08 and love it! My mother-in-law actually worked with Dr Chua in Milwaukee who does that LAP band and is excellent.

Glad to meet you!

There are some people who have had wonderful successes with the band on this board. I'm one of the few who have had complications - a band slip, severe reflux, and my fills totally removed twice. I wish you luck if you do this, but it hasn't been an easy road for me.

I have had my band for 4 years.

Shadow,

Where in Wisconsin are you? I live in Marinette. I was banded on Nov. 2, 2007 in Green Bay. I'm still fairly new to it but I'm glad I did it. I haven't had any problems or complications. I have lost about 55 pounds at this point. Good luck to you in your thought process.

Robin

Hi Shadow, I'm from Baraboo which is just south of the Dells, about 40 minutes from Madison. Do you live anywhere near? Are you buried in snow like we are? I'm so sick of winter. Can't even get out and walk! On the bright side, it can't last much longer. If you are close enough to Madison the UW program is excelent.

Jenni--Dr Chua is following up with me, and my sister is scheduled to see him tomorrow. Who is your mother-in-law? You can PM me if you'd like. I need someone with some "pull" over there as I have a slipped band and they're not returning my phone calls!

      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?

      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
