I have a Facebook but my fb friends don't know that I'm about to be banded. If you're still interested in being friends send me a private message on lbt.

There is a really great group on fb called Lap Band Divas and some of those women and men also use lbt. I would check out the group. It has been a great resource for me. I'm not going public with this process so it's a great way for me to have Facebook friends that share in my experience without actually making them friends that may make comments that reveal my journey. :w00t:

I am on FB alot, but 90% of my FB friends do not know of the band. I have simply called my weightloss "the genisis project"

since Genisis is the begining. The importaint people know and everyone else I just as soon not deal with them on it.

Yes I am on Facebook also. Pretty much everyone on FB knows I’m either losing weight in some way or that I have had WLS. It doesn’t bother me if anyone knows or not, everyone there is super supportive and is very happy for me.

I am also in the LapBandDivas group. I don’t check in a whole lot but I do have many friends on my Facebook that are also members here.

If anyone wants to send me friend request, please PM me for my email address. Thanks!

I'm on Facebook but, frankly, a large portion of my friends are parrot heads and my page reflects that. Musicians, parties, invitations to parrot head events, comments about stuff at parrot head events. But I always welcome new friends! I'm just warning about the parrot head stuff so you don't think you stumbled into anything crazy, LOL.

I am on FB as well and have many friends that are on this site as well. However, I don't talk about banding on FB and unless people know me from here, they don't know I am banded. If you would like to connect on FB just send me a PM :0)

      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!!
