How Did You Decide On A Goal Weight?
justathing2me replied to eyeononederland's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
At the first visit with my surgeon, he said, "I think we can get you to 140lbs", so I've just stuck with it but I'd be happy with 150-160ish -
Congrats! I love a good success story! You look great!

Pre-Op Diet Ideas?

According to my surgeon, my pre open diet will be for 2 weeks and will consist of optifast shakes, bars and soups. 6 servings per day, approximately 1000 calories. -

4.2 Cc In A 10 Cc. Band. Is That A Lot
justathing2me replied to Boniluuu's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I haven't had surgery yet but at my last visit I asked my surgeon what size band he is going to use and if he fills it at all at the time if surgery. He said he will probably use a 12cc band and usually fills it with 3-4ccs at the time of surgery. -
I've lost over 10lbs since my initial weigh in, unfortunately, my insurance goes by your weight at the end of your supervised 6 month diet! Luckily, I will still have a bmi over 35 with several co-morbidities by the time of my pre-op appt. 7/2. I had to check into that, I was worried and thought I may have to scale back on the weight loss until after my surgery.
-
I agree! Do whatever you need to! If it wasn't for my high blood pressure, pre-diabetes, high cholesterol and possible sleep apnea, I would be exactly where you are! My bmi is 38.4. If I didn't have the co-morbidities, I would be wearing those sweats and ankle weights!

Just Had My 7Yr Band Anniversary!!
justathing2me replied to Kelliebelly's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I am being banded in August. I've read so many posts lately about failure after 5yrs...it's so nice to read a positive post and long term success story! -
Congrats! I just went to my 4th visit on Wednesday and I am scheduled for surgery 8/1. At first it felt like forever but I'm really glad I had the extra time to learn all the "band rules" and had the time to make a well thought out decision.

Went to my pre-surgery class today...this was my last step
I got to sample protein drinks and honestly, I am a little more excited for surgery!
