New here and worried about Tuesday. I made the mistake of reading a website basically called "Everything that can go wrong with the lap band and people who want to share their stories." What a downer. I have been reading HERE about all the successes, so I hope that I am going to do well without any complications!:wink2:

New here and worried about Tuesday. I made the mistake of reading a website basically called "Everything that can go wrong with the LAP-BAND® and people who want to share their stories." What a downer. I have been reading HERE about all the successes, so I hope that I am going to do well without any complications!:wink2:

With any surgery there are complications. However I think there are probably more success stories then there are complications. I for one would do it all over again if I had to. I'm a little over 3 weeks in now and feeling great. I'm down 20lbs since surgery and 36lbs since the pre-surgical diet. Best thing is, I'm not hungry. I'm able to do more things now then I have been able to do in a very long time. I have a long way to go but the energy level I have now is awesome.

It's great that you do your research. Remember when it comes to the actual surgery, no matter what anyone has said to you or you have read, it's your decision.

Good luck in your journeys. Stay positive.

Hi I too did that even went on youtube and watched video's of people who were having problems or complications with the lapband. I personally know someone who had it and I am using the same surgeon. I know I am making the right decision and my surgery is thursday! I am down 9lbs in the preop diet. :tongue2:

Hello Queen...I'm scheduled for tomorrow as well. I know a few ladies at my job who have had it done. Some have it a few complications, while some eat everything in sight as if they don't have a band. But out of the 4 ladies I know...2 have already in a year to year and a half time lost 100lbs. So I see it does work...

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
