Hello everyone :thumbup:

I would like to be banded in September 2008. I am currently attending seminars about Lap Band to find the best fit for me. I have been thinking about get the Lap band for almost 5 yrs now.

Hi Janelle! Im 28, Ive been banded for 8 months. Im 6'1" and At surgery I was 344lbs wearing a 24/26. Im may not be what you are looking for in terms of a band buddy but I am open if you have questions or concerns.

Getting banded was one of the best decision I ever made. Good luck on your journey.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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! 😞
