I just got my lapband a little over a week ago and thought that it would be nice to find a support group so here I am. I am so excited about the journey that I am taking and I thank everyone in advance for all your help to this newbie.:)

Congrats! I am in the process of going through my preop now. I am on week two, and I have lost 12 pounds just doing that. I get banded on Sept. the 9th and I can't wait. So back to you, how are you doing? Tell us more about your experience. Did you suffer a lot with the gas?

Did you have a preop? Okay I guess I've asked enough question but I'm just curious about everyone's surgery because sharing on this site has really helped me and I'm sure others.

Bye

Welcome, I was banded on 8-28-08 and I am feeling great. Slight abdominal pain due to hiatal hernia surgery.

I am excited for the new life ahead...Best of luck to you.

      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! 😞
