Hello - I was banded 4 weeks ago today, Feb. 25, 2008. I've been looking all over the internet looking for others to talk to about it. I'm glad I found this site. I'm looking forward to learning how the process has gone for others. I guess I'm really wanting to know I'm on track and right where I should be. It's one thing when your doctor says you are and when you compare yourself to others. I know everyone is different, it's just nice to know where you are in comparison.

looking forward to meeting y'all.

Hi Allea, welcome to LBT. Check out the monthly support groups on the main forums menu. The companionship and support gained by communicating with other bandsters who started out along with me has been an invaluable part of this experience.

All the best,

Hi!

I was also banded on Feb 25 and so far have healed up quite well. I am down 19 pounds and started back on solid foods a little over a week ago. I am going in for my first fill on April 6. How has your band journey been so far?

I'm loving it. I feel like I've got this great secret and I want to tell everyone about it. I've lost 19lbs on my scales, according to the doc when I went last Tuesday for my post op appointment, I'd lost 16lbs. I weigh every day, probably shouldn't. So I guess we're right on track. I have my first fill, if needed on April 17. They said they ask you all those questions about how you're doing, then decide if you need one or not. Love to hear more from you. Have you started exercising yet?

Thanks Mariah, I do agree eveyone is different, but I really don't have a frame of reference for how much people loose at first on Lap band. All the people I've spoken with prior to my surgery, were at their goal weight and very happy with their band. Looking forward to hearing more from you.

I am riding my stationary bike about 3 times a week and plan on increasing the frequency in the coming weeks. What type of exercise do you like to do?

      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!!

      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?
