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

      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! 😞
