Congrats! You have to be so excited. My date for banding is on Nov. 19. I was so excited when I learned what my date would be, and I still am. :lol: I'm not at all concerned about the surgery. I imagine it will be somewhat like the gall bladder surgery I had only about three and one half weeks ago. The "Battle of the Bulge" has been a long fight for me and I imagine for most, if not everyone who is banded or is on there way to having it done. I am so looking foreward to losing additional weight along with the 63 pounds I have already lost on my 6 mo. doctor supervised diet.

Good luck and wishing you great success!! :w00t:

HI everyone. Just checking in to see how you all are coming along since your surgeries on Tuesday! Mine went really well/ Was in and out in a couple hours and thanks to awesome pain meds I have been resting quite comfortably. The pain is not too bad so far. Doc has me on liquid diet stilll till at least Thanksgiving. I am feeling much better today and getting around better. I am pretty swollen still so I have what feels like restriction I guess. Its my first glimpse of what life will be like with the band and I am so excited !!!!!!!!! This is amazing that I feel full after just a little Soup and Water. Everythings getting cold before I can even get close to finishing it. What a trip :thumbup: This is going to be quite a ride. I can't believe this really happened. Just three months ago I made up my mind to have Lap Band surgery and now here I sit with my band in place and sip sip sipping my Water. Its all so unreal...someone pinch me!

I hope all of you are recovering quickly and being well taken care of. I think we should all form a group for people banded on Nov 17th 2009....anyone game? I need a lap band buddy anyway and Im betting some of you do too :unsure:

      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?

      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
