Hi,

Been thinking about the lapband for awhile now and I'm finally doing it.. Right now I'm at the beginning stages. My first appt. happened yesterday. I'm at least 200 pounds overweight and tried every diet you can imagine. I'm pretty sure I'm going through with it...however maybe some of you can give me heads up on what to expect. I'm not scared just a little nervous to the unknown. I do have questions and I really hope i can get the answers here in additional to the outside support. :w00t:

Hello and welcome to LBT. I am in the process of getting lapband, so I have no advice but wanted to wish you the best on your journey to get banded.

I am also one who started the journey with at least 200lbs to lose. I just wanted to say even though the number may seem daunting, it is indeed possible. Good luck to all of you.

Hi:

Welcome to lapbandtalk. I think it must be possible to lose 200 pounds, because I've lost almost 150.

You can succeed if you follow the doctors and/or nutritionists suggestions for eating, follow up frequently with your doctor until you hit the sweet spot, attend support groups, and find a physical activity that you enjoy and try to do it most days. I walk 3 to 5 miles six days per week. In warmer weather I trikke too.

Best wishes to you. Any specific questions, just ask I'm here to help.

Sue

      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.
