Wow, every doctor is different,mine would not do a fill till 6 weeks. Drinking with meals is not helping the weightloss. Also if your not walking or doing some form of exercise, the weightloss will be slow. Stick to the rules, evaluate the types of foods you are eating and exercise. That will probably speed up the process. Good luck!

I had a BMI of 52 and did not have to do a preop diet. I was clear liquids the day before but that was it. Definetly call your doctor and let him know. Also have you lost any weight preop dispite not adhering to the diet? My doctor warn me not to gain anymore weight before surgery because if I had a significant weight gain, then they would not do the surgery. Good Luck, I hope it works out. I do warn you that the lapband takes alot of work and you will not lose weight if you continue to eat bad things and not exercise. Its definetly a lifestyle change.

Thanks Everyone! This will be our first child. We have been married 8 years with no luck. This is truely a blessing and a gift from God!

Are you following the lapband diet and exercising? If the answer is no, then you have to do this. The weight will not come off if you don't try to make better choices with your eating habits. Just start over and make the committment to do it. Give the band a try.

Boy I am behind! Got in 6 miles today! I have really been busy and super excited over the last week. Me and my hubby got word that we were selected to adopt this beautiful 10 month old baby boy. I have been beside myself and making preparations to get the baby room ready! Life is good!!!!!

You are doing everything to sabotage your weightloss. I have never liked to exercise but now since the band I make it up in my mind to do it 4-5 times a week. I love pizza and all that other stuff that keep us fat,BUT I had to change my mindset and eat healthy and splurge every once in a while. You have to get your mind right or you will never be successful with the lapband. You have to try to do better. Have you ever had a fill? Do you feel restriction. Try really hard to get some help , refocus and start the weightloss journey. You can do it but you have to change your attitude and try harder. Wishing you much success. Take baby steps and make it happen.

Weight 228.1 Lost 0.9 of a pound. I'll take it!

Im a little late. Gotta catch up. Did some cardio kickboxing and cardio abs. Trying to change up my exercise routine but will always have time for walking.

My insurance requires a PCP referral with 6 months weighloss record. Luckily I see my PCP faithfully every year and inbetween. All my insurance needed from him was 3 yrs worth of weights from my visits and I didn't have to do the 6 month weighloss because I told him over the past about all the diets I have been on. I would call your insurance company and see what their requirements are. If you need a referral from a PCP, then find a new one and maybe join Weight watchers online or in your neiborhood. This will show your PCP that your serious and help you kickstart a healthy lifestyle. Once you get past that hurdle, then you find a surgeon and they will have another list of testing and counseling that they want you to do. Its a tedious process but well worth it in the end.

Change your exercise routine. You can't do the same thing daily and get the same results. I use to just do 3-4 1 hour Zumba and other exercise classes a week and I could loose weight. Now I have to walk 4-5 miles and incorporate exercise classes because my body need a change.So far it is working. The goal is to constantly ttrick your body because it will stall because it gets use to the same routine. FYI the best exercise that i have seen the greatest weightloss is walking. When I walk 4-6 at one time, I get on the scale after I am finished and I am down 2-2.5lbs. Walking has taken off more weight than any class that I have taken at the gym. Try it and see if it changes,
