The weight doesn't come off drastically with the band. And I work from home and travel to the office only 3 times a year. As I stated before I didn't want to hear any negative comments or scare tactics about how I could die or why's ....so I ran with the theory less is more. I workout everyday...the band is just an aid and assistance to a lifetime change -

I wanted this surgery 5 yrs ago and didn't do it because of the discouragement... I gained 80 more lbs over 5 yrs and decided I had enough of being over weight to Hell with everybody else! I'm gonna do this for me. I have no other health issues and I didn't want that to change since I'm knocking at 40 in age soon. -

I've lied to most, sad to say. Ive been telling people I had my gall bladder removed. Other than my close friends and immediate family, I'm not ready to share, or listen to negative comments about why I would have surgery -

Sktatey, hang in there..the weight will come off. If you continue to gain I would suggest contacting your doctor to check your band. Please keep me posted... I am on this journey with you -

It's just from the swelling most likely.... How much water are you drinking? And how long of a walk so you take? I walk at least 20 min or more and keep my heart rate between 123-141 -
starting BMI over 50? come on in!
petit avant replied to maziemommy's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Hi all, I was just banded on the 20th. I am so excited about this journey. My starting weight was 312 bmi of 52 I'm down 8 lbs so far. This is not easy, but something I'm committed to doing. I'm on full liquids for 3 wks and still have to cook and eat dinner with my family. I had 2 bottles of water, some muscle milk light, and a small bowl of soup today. I cooked plaintain oxtails peas n rice for my family. Needless to say I craved their food. Don't know how I'm supposed to give up rice forever....but I'm taking it 1 day at a time. -
