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)

      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.

      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! 😞
