Ok, now I am getting nervous. Not about the procedure, but about some of the posts that I have been reading about people who are having little to no success with the band. I just read one this morning from someone who said that she only lost 2 pounds in 3 weeks.

I have to believe that these people are just not following the doctor's rules. It is my understanding that the band is a "tool" to be used in conjunction with healthy eating habits. If your head is not in the game, then you will not be as successful.

I say, "Let's show them" what success really is!!!

I know that I didn't make this commitment to not be successful....

If there are other bandsters reading this, PLEASE post your successes!!!!!

Bandfan, I totally understand your concern, and I'm scared about the exact same thing. I just try to believe in my heart that this is the change that's going to change my life...I have to believe that this is going to work.

We must all remember that until you have enough fills to restrict you, you might not lose any weight at all... that is more norm. We are lucky if we lose before then. Each small step is a celebration and I do believe the more we follow the rules, exercise and DON'T find ways to eat around the band and take the time to heal properly, we will be more successful! I can't wait!

Good, I have 3 computers and tried all of them. The web site was slow on all of them. It's getting better now though. My daughter doesn't live in McKinney, she lives in Texarkana an drives to McKinney to work because the money is so much better. She's an RN and the top pay around here is around 22 with 2 years experience but she is making like 37 there. So it is definitely worth the drive for her. Yes she is gonna be here for my surgery. I just verified that with her today. I thinkill be having it at a surgery center, hopefully won't be there long. Are you getting excited yet? I'll just be so glad to be able to get around better without being out of breath and aching all of the time. Life is defitely gonna look up for all of us. We're on the right 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?

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
