Good to see you doing weel, we can live without the foods we can't tolerate with the band, but at least we can enjoy life now.

Congratulations! I was banded Sept 19, 2007. I have lost almost 40 pounds. Mine is coming off slowly but it is more of a lifestyle change and hopefully the habits I am forming now will stick forever. I am starting to have trouble with bread, but most foods go down easily. I am just not hungry and don't even think about eating much.

What is your typical day like?

i was also banded sept.18,2007! I would not change a thing! I love my band and only wish i had done it sooner. I have a hard time with breads, and some meats, but it also depends on the day, i don't know why one day i can eat real good all day, the next not too much. Regardless i love the new me!

I lost lbs!!! but got pregnant and gained 100 lbs back! I just had my second surgery on Monday to fix my band. I had a prolapse, band slippage, and a hernia. I get to start over so I hope I have as much success this time around.

I gain a significant amount of weight around 45 lbs in a year and a half but this January I got back with the program and in March got another fill. So I have lost about 20 lbs since January, Just need to remember to stay way from the comfort foods that will slide down the old band like chocolate and ice cream.

Good luck on your new life and your new adventure with the lap band

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
