Well I was banded on 11/24/08 and I think it was the best decision I ever made. I am now 1 week post-op and down 18 pounds!! I feel great and I even look much better my dr in NJ is Dr.Borao I would recommend him to anyone hes the greatest and talk about a dr thats always by yourside... <33

Well im only 18 and i weighed 194 pre op and technically shouldnt have been banded but I was addicted to food and wouldve never lost it on my own so therefore it probably saved my life cause at 18 with sky high cholesterol and tryglicerides I was headed for despair so I really think lap band in the long run saved my life.. Well its 3:20am here in NJ so I better get some sleep because i have to be up at 8:30am to walk so ttyl :thumbup:dont be strangers. xO:thumbup:

Wow, Kyley. Thats' fantastic weight loss after only a week! I'm new to this site, hope to get approval for lap band in the next few days. I've pestered my doctor for over a month now to get me approved, and he's hemmed and hawed, asking 2x what I've done in the past to lose weight, then asked me again, like I hadn't already told him!

Hoping I'll have better luck in the future, or I'm changing ins!

Best of luck to you with continued weight loss and great health! Katie:thumbs_up:

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
