Hi, I'm Dixie, I haven't had the lap banding done yet. I just got new insurance and don't know yet if all the labs, psych eval, etc(that I had done last year )will be able to be used. I am 51 years old and am a nurse at a women's prison in Mason County WV. I am going to Dr. Nease at Cabell Huntington Hospital. Write to me anytime.

Hi! Thanks for responding. My name is Peggy and I live in Milton, WV. I work in Huntington at the V.A. Hospital as a clerk in Xray. I got banded on 7-10 and am doing good. I used to live really close to Cabell Hospital, and my little grandson had a hernia repair operation there when he was a baby and they did a great job. The insurance companies take so long to approve the lap band, but it's worth it. It's really nice meeting you and write to me anytime too! :thumbup: Peggy

Hi Peggy,

I am in Northern Kentucky and was banded in December '07. I have lost 71 lbs. so far and am working out like crazy :biggrin:

What do you think so far?

      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! 😞
