Since deciding to have Lapband surgery and starting the process of appointments and pre-op weight loss, I've been having a great time doing research and reading lots on this message board and watching YouTube videos.

I was so surprised to find that there is such an active weight loss surgery community there. I decided that it would be fun to start my own channel to document my weight loss journey. It'll keep me motivated and will also be so awesome to see my progress once I have surgery, lose weight and reach my goal.

If anyone here would like to check it out, here's the link:

If anyone has their OWN channel, will you post the link? I think it would be so fun to keep up with eachother's progress and help keep eachother motivated!

I was just thinking about starting one this morning! Maybe I'll actually do it this week sometime.

yes I've been watching youTube videos for weeks and have made several videos... none of which I've had the courage to upload yet. There's an incredibly vibrant WLS lapband and GB community on youTube. I will upload a video very soon. haha I've just subscribed to your channel. :-)

Congrats on your surgery! Did you have RNY or Lapband? I'll have to check out your blog, and YES! Upload those videos girl, I wanna see 'em! You're doing great, keep up the good work.

I am 4 days post op lapband. Still healing and getting rid of these gas bubbles, but overall doing great. I got on the scale this morning and was 13 lbs down (incl pre-op). I am so excited to see the changes in the next coming weeks. I've not told anyone I'm having surgery but my husband so I'm a little weird about putting up videos, but I think in the end I will absolutely do it. The community is too vibrant there to miss out on.

I started one! I figure today was a good day since I found out yesterday that my insurance has approved me! :sneaky:

So, now I have one lonely little video up on youtube. It can be seen here: Youtube - IamBmeTammy

For anyone that's on here and on there as well, please send me the links to your channels, I'd love to see how other people are doing!

Yay! I watched your video today but didn't make that connection that it was you until just now. I just put up my second video tonight. I'm gonna try to do a weight in update every Thursday and maybe one or two more during the week if there's anything relevant to share.

I'm excited! This will be so fun.
