I was actually banded March 24th 2008 in Roanoke, VA. It has been a great year. I have about 30 - 40 pounds more to lose. 5 more pounds and I will no longer be obese!!!!!

Follow the rules and exercise and you will do great.

Take Care,

Lori

Hi Jujvee; This march 24th banster is doing ok, though the last couple of weeks I haven't lost any and I am pretty sure it's something I am doing or not doing, so I am a little frustrated. Congradulation on loosing so much so far. I am down 42lbs since surgery, wish it was a little more, but I've got to be happy with my progress so far. Do you have any special receipes or things you do to keep on track? Keep in touch.

Jdelaera actually we are close on weight loss, I lost 30 pre op.

I haven't weighed in a couple weeks I wanted to break my addiction to the scale, it's so liberating. I am so close to getting out of the 3's that I can't wait to see a weight in the 2's.

I love to cook send me your email in a private message and I will send you some recipes.

It's almost our 1 year... how is everyone doing..

I have good days and bad days but no matter what I keep going and never give up... I'm training for my first half marathon and that has continued to hold me accountable on exercise. I've just had the one fill and that seems to be fine for now.. I actually like that I have restriction but not so much that I can't eat breads and Pasta. I still have smaller portions.

I can't believe that I can actually see the light at the end of the tunnel....

Congratulations on your weight loss, I was banded on 3/16/09, but have lost all my 3/16 band buddies. Can't believe that it has almost been a year. I am so happy to be where I am today the things now that come so easily like crossing your legs, sitting on my foot in my chair at work. Things that were such a problem a year ago are gone. I love being banded.

Keep up the great work!

Its crazy that its almost a year!!! Congrats to u two on your great success! I am very happy that I got it done! New Beginnings, its a great feeling to do those things that we could not do a year ago. So far I have been doing very well with the band. I haven't had a fill done, but as long I am still losing the weight thats all that counts. Good luck to you both on ur weight loss journey. :)

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
