I would actually like to meet and discuss with some people how they feel after having the lap band. I know a few people from San Diego who have it but are older women. I wish there were more people around my age.

I just want to make a real life lap band buddy.

Lame! I wish there were more people here. I mean I had surgery with another girl but you can tell she has hostile feelings toward me. Lets just say, she hasn't seen very good results. I believe there are 12 other young people in my study, but they aren't allowed to give out their info. So unless I happen to bump into one of them, than I'm SOL.

You meant class by myself cause under age people don't have lap band yet?

Yes...I thought you said you were in a pilot program or some such to see how teens do on the band, right? that means there aren't many of you!

But you should be able to rustle up some in their early 20's, I'd think!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      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! 😞
