Hello Everyone Im new to this site.. Im 30yrs old, I live in NY I have been thinking of getting band.. I was considering the gastic but I hear is to dangerous. So I took that idea out of my head and decided on the band I have try a lot of diets and pills to loss weight but nothing has really help.. I even try the Alli they are good but you have to be in the bathroom all the time is hard when u work with children.. Specially in the train going home is not a good thing :thumbup:.. So Im on this site to read your stories and see if this would be the best thing for me I have read a lot of forum in this site and I have to say

Congratulations to all of you guys that have come such a long way to loss weight... :thumbup:

Good morning and welcome :thumbup:

For me lap band surgery was the best option, I started at 226 lbs and my surgeon didn't feel that gastric bypass would be the ideal surgery for me.

Now, I do have an Aunt and her daughter who have both had Gastric Bypass and it was the best surgery for them.

I think it really comes down to what you qualify for and what you feel most comfortable with.

Good luck on your journey, ask lots of questions as I am always learning new things from the wonderful people on this forum :thumbup:

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
