Hi Molly,

Sorry not to reply earlier. I cannot comment on the balloon as I do not know anything about it. I was banded on 25th January but I have not had my first fill yet, that comes on 9th March. My operation went well and I just had some discomfort for a few days afterwards but I am fine now. I am looking forward to my first fill soon. My scars are small and are healing well. They will fade in time and i would rather have small scars than one large one. There is only you can decide what is best for you. Good luck with whatever you decide.

Snow princess, you are doing really well, keep it up and well done!

good that you've done it!

hope your 1st fill was fine

and how is your weight loss!

better you go to the gym to loss more and firm your body:thumbup:

Hello,

I am new to this forum, and will be new to Abu Dhabi when I complete our move in Aug. I am looking forward to linking up with other lap band ladies, and to find a good dr./ clinic where I can go for future fills.

Had my lap band done in 07 and am very happy.

Cheers!:lol:

Hello mommacb, try alnoor Hospital in Abu dhabi for your fills. i am from Abudhabi but i had my surgery in emirates hospital and planning to have the fills there too. But I’ve heard in Abu dhabi there is a doctor, he’s name is (Abdulsalam) ~I think and he is good at gastric surgeries and filling.:confused:

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
