I am at the beginning of the process too, and I also am a mother, I have two little girls.

I have to loose at least 100+ to get to where I need to go..

Are you nervous? I am not yet but I am sure I will be when it gets closer...

Do you have a date set to have your surgery, I don't yet I have a few more things I have to get into the clinic..

Where are having it done?

Sorry for all the questions, I am new at this....

Hope to hear from you soon...

Hey Jennifer!

Glad to hear that you are on this journey as well!! My surgeon will be submitting to ins. next week....then I wait! I'm already so anxious! We are hoping for an early April date!! I am having surgery in Blue Earth..south of Mankato. I want to lose at least 75 pounds..85 would put me in the normal weight range, but I can't imagine that weight!!! Stay in touch...I would love to know how this is going for you!

Hey Ladies,

I am in the Twin Cities. Looking to loose 100+ Off to a good start so far.

Have you been banded yet? I just got my first fill last week. Some restriction, I still need to fight with myself to make better choices!

I am a Mom of one sweet sweet four yr old girl :()

Good Luck...We can DO this!

I am a 27 yr old mom of 4 from MN and going to a lap band seminar next thursday.

If I decide to do this how soon would a surgery be scheduled? Im wondering if anyone knows the process since I am very new.

I have bad health and my weight isnt helping my health so they suggested this.

I would love to keep in touch with everyone. I need someone to help me through this.

My email is blue2cry@hotmail.com

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
