hello people cant seem to lose weight yet,,new at this
sweetpea61956 replied to patty123's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
post your questions and lots of people will answer -
Welcome. everyone is different as to how much of a fill they get, etc. I haven't had a fill...but I am determined to get the weight off and want to wait for fills as long as I can so that when my willpower gives up, I have a backup plan I am thinking the band is going to be awesome to help me KEEP the weight off. For the ticker, click on one and it should take you to the website. Good luck.

does your clinic have support groups? look around for a support group. this site is awesome, but talking to people in person is also awesome. Congratulations and good luck!

be sure to drink lots of water too. if you get dehydrated you will be tired and lethargic. Good luck.

Anyone regret their decision to get banded?
sweetpea61956 replied to JoJo22's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I haven't felt that way but I have read where lots of people have. I had dr appts from January to May when I had surgery so I had a lot of time to prepare my mind. Good luck and hang in there. -
I had my surgery on May 26th and have been lucky enough that I haven't had a fill. But even at that I have yet to have a hamburger. They contain a LOT of fat and calories. Write down what you are eating. The band is not going to make you lose weight by itself. You still need to make good choices of what you eat and how much you eat. Good luck.

I eat at 11:30 every day...don't usually eat anything for breakfast and then eat dinner anywhere from 7:30 to 9:00. On the weekends I find I won't think much about food until 1:30-2:00

Thanks! I don't want fills until my willpower slows down...

Actually my husband has a Suzuki Intruder and we got a great deal on a 1999 Harley Sportster...but..we also bought a Buell Blast.. We figure when I get comfortable on the Blast I can graduate to the Harley. -

Having some issues and wondering if anyone has experienced the same...
sweetpea61956 replied to LindaD's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I am a new bander, so I can't really help..other than moral support...hang in there. maybe try liquids for a few weeks or at least a couple of meals a day and then the softer food. Good luck and I will be thinking about you! -
Sounds like a great trip and successful! Sorry about the horse and the incident that came after..but you did good! Congrats

Congrats! Job well done!

The acknowledgement should be your pride in yourself and your new clothes.! Good luck! -
When do people notice the weight loss?
sweetpea61956 replied to Zoiecat71's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
some people may not know if it is ok to say anything. so many people take offense to others mentioning their weight, they think saying nothing is better. I started in Feb at 304 and am at about 243 and people notice ...especially with my clothes being baggy. good luck and congrats! -
my doctor didn't set a goal weight...it is up to me. I am 55, 5'5" and want to get between 155 and 170 last time I was 155 I was 18 and 170 I was 21.

Call Aetna and ask them what would you need to do to change surgeons and keep the approval. -
