I had my surgery in November of 2007. I have lost 70 pounds. I have hit a stand still and I don't want it to stop. I need to lose more weight! I loved your story. Have you ever had to have your band loosened because you got something stuck?

How's your progress since you last posted in September? A co-worker of mine is getting closer to lap-band reality(ins. approval, going to seminar then will be referred to a surgeon etc.). So I'm following her journey as well. I'm going to get organized after my college classes are done for summer and see all of what I have to do in order to get approved also. What a great inspiration all of you are to share your stories and photos!:wub:

It was good to see your before and after pics. My surgery date was Feb 24. I have only lost 7 lbs since then. My first fill was last Friday. Was it slow going for you in the beginning? My starting weight was 227 lbs. I have started using elipitical or treadmill for 30 minutes before and after work. Hope that gives me a little kick start! I am getting a little down on myself for not loosing more! But I try to keep telling myself-at least I am not gaining. Used to I would loose 6 lbs- gain 4 lbs then loose 4 lbs gain 6 lbs. and on and on. So no yoyo so far. That is something to be greatfull for. I have never done one of these chat room things before. But I figured any motivation I could get would be good thing!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
