Hello all,

I had my lap band surgery done on June 16, 2008 and a port revision done November 19,2008.

I started at 226 lbs and now weigh 195. The majority of the weight came off before the surgery during my two week liquid diet.

I would like to hit 135 as a high goal weight, but at this point I am focusing on breaking through 190.

I have refocused and started tracking my foods more carefully and really trying to be more accountable.

I have my 4th fill this month on the 22nd - hopefully that will get me just right.

Anyways, just wanted to share and introduce myself :)

Hi Babbs! I'm new here, too. Since I have less than 100 lbs to lose now, I thought I'd pop in here.

It's so great to be able to share information with others that are going through the same things! I have learned a lot by reading the threads on this site.

Regarding your slow loss... I too lose slow and sometimes am jealous reading about how much weight some people lose in such a short period of time. I was banded in April of 2008 and finally reached ONEderland this morning. EXACLY one and a half years later. I'm glad I'm not the only one who loses slow! :wink2:

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
