I was banded in may of 2011, looking to converse with someone who had lapband surgery and needs to lose a lot of weight

I also had to do that, It did go quickly. I went to my pcp and it seemed ridiculous going so many times for very little results. I may have lost 10lbs during the six months

Wanna know more about my lap band surgeon...

I love Dr. Shayani. He is willing to answer any and all questions you have. You can email him and he responds. He has a kind and caring personality. He works out of several hospitals, so my experience will be different from yours. The insurance I had dictated a 6month diet with my primary care physician. The diet after your week post op is Protein, he wants you to eat meat, Beans, cheese, Protein Bars, and nuts only. I have had good success with it. I am down 55 lbs since my surgery may 2nd. Everyone is different, so do not expect the same. I also incorporated circuit training 2 nights and walking 4 nights (3-4 Miles). -
She was listed on this Doctors of weight loss website. The md I had is also on it and I just noticied her, she was doing a micro lapband procedure where the instruments used are smaller and if I remember correctly the incision where the band is inserted is done in the belly button region. Your weight loss is great. I have been trying to keep myself eating only what my MD said to. It has worked wel

Will banding work if I have Hypothyroidism??
hopingtolose replied to jsea's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I have type 2 diabetes and have been hypothyroid for 20 yrs. I was banded may 2 this year and to date have lost 55lbs. Not everyone is the same, I can only speak for myself. I would think as long as you are on the correct dose you should be able to lose weight. I actually had to decrease my synthroid dose after surgery after my pcp checked my tsh and it was 0. -
