I am new to banding, had it done 3 weeks ago and have lost 14 lbs so far...have hit a plateau but that is expected I guess!!! It has taken me years to put on the weight but want it to come off in DAYS!! I feel great & am inspired by the comments & stories from all of you. So good to find a 60s group. In fact, the entire site has been a blessing as you have helped answer questions... I have been lurking since the day before surgery!

Congrats on being banded! Hang in there! it will get better. It can be discouraging in the beginning. As time goes on it has been better and better for me. Good Luck!

Welcome! It's been just over a year since I had my lapband surgery. It's the best thing I ever done for myself. Hang in there! All good things take time.

Karenin..you have done great in a year.. I am 6 months out, had mine in feb and i hope i can do as well.. My biggest problem is i dont work and i have a bad hip, so i do not get any exercise.. I heard the wi fit was good and i am going to try to attemp bike riding, dont know if i can handle that one yet. But all in all this was the best thing i have ever done for myself and i feel wonderful again and it is only going to get better.

Congratulations on being banded and losing almost 40 pounds so far. Check with your doc about some exercise suggestions. The doc that treats my bad knee and hip told me that biking was good and Water exercise. However, everyone is different, so it's best to check first. Best of luck to you. I know you can do it!

THIS IS THE MOST RECENT PIC'S SINCE SURGERY, I LOOK A LITTLE DIFFERENT, :ohmy: BUT NOT AS MUCH AS I WOULD LIKE,:biggrin: CLOTHES HAVE BEEN SMALLER :crying: ALTHOUGH THE scales ARE NOT MOVING AS FAST, DOC SAYS I AM WAY AHEAD OF THE GAME THOUGH,:crying: SO HE KNOWS BEST. I HOPE THIS PICTURE COMES THROUGH, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE DONE THIS:crying:
