Need a lap band Buddie in Michigan



Recommended Posts

I am having my surgery on June 13. I would love a mentor/buddy- someone who has had the surgery, perhaps 6 months to a year ago, who can help me through what is to come by sharing their experiences. I prefer a female, since our issues may match better. I am 49 years old, so an older female, near my age, would be best.

I am a 48 year old female, also live in Michigan. I have been married 29 years, and have a 23 year old son. I desperately need a mentor, as I am making bad choices and I need to STOP. Will you please be my mentor, Kirajh? I need motivation, and I believe that with your fantastic weight loss, you would have very good tips. Please help me.....

Hi

I'm from Michigan. I was banded last July in Mexico and have lost 93 pounds so far. I live in Livingston County.........feel free to e-mail me at any time. kirajh@yahoo.com36_3_16.gif

I don't know how much help I can be, but I will do whatever I can. I have found that it is mainly making up your mind to do it. And then do it. I still eat around the band but I jsut pick myself up and make up my mind again. Over and over again. Another thing I have found is very important, no matter the food choices, is EXERSIZE. I pedal on my exersize bike for at least an hour every day and I recently joined a gym and go MWF and work out and do the tread mill in addition to pedaling. If nothing else, WALK ! ! ! And drink lots of Water.

I am in Michigan Greenville area

I was banded June 07 and I have lost 101 lbs

Stick to the rules and guidelines things will work out it will be slow and you wil have months that you feel like nothing is happening.

I mentally feel like I am still extremely fat it does not matter how much my husband tells me I am fine I am not fat and I am close to being to skinny (yeah right) I still have about 40 lbs I would like to lose.

Seems we are in the same place. I was banded last July.....have lost 103 lbs and feel the same way you do. It's funny, but it seems like forever for me to notice the fat lady in the mirror, but now I can't seem to get rid of her.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
