Hi!...I'm brand new to this site. My husband and I both are scheduled to get an Inamed banding on August 8th for our birthday's which are August 9 & 10th respectfully. We are both "out of bounds" with our weight. My husband began gaining weight during his teen years but I was overweight at 2 years old. So,....we mean to take action. Like most all of us, we are both very nervous and apprehensive. Wish us luck!!!!!

I just found out today that my surgery is scheduled for August 29th. My sister is having her lap band surgery that day also. We take a lot of trips together. On August 29th, we are taking a trip to BandLand. The before and after pictures really encourage me.

Aug 1 I was banded Dr. Jose Rodriguez. I was a wonderful experience. I'm looking forward to my new life. I'm down 3lb--120 to go. One day at a time.

phone 866-583-5629 Anyone who uses this doctor will not be sorry.

I'm scheduled for August 16th, and like the rest of you, I'm anxious, excited, scared, ready, and hopeful! I am hopeful about the possibility of actual, longterm change!

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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.
