Lap band surgery two years ago, first fill not sure what to expect. 1 1/2 c.c injected into band. A little nervous about the next days.

Thanks for the reminder. I am doing just that,resetting my brain.

Congratulations, I've started doing 5k walks doing my second one on this Saturday. Looking forward to start running soon. Keep up the good work.

Hi LB family~ it's been a year since I've had my surgery and I have 28 pounds remaining to meet my goal. I've tried everything, has any other bandsters been met with this challenge? Any advice you could give would be great. Thanks. Also, I have never had a fill.

You wonderful ladies will do great!....just know that the pounds didn't come over night and they will not fall off over night. Be encouraged and know that this is a New Life Journey...not a diet. Good luck and much success to you all.

You are amazing! keep on with your new life journey. I felt the same way when I re-entered onderland after 26 years. You are my inspiration.

Hello Lap band Family: I am so excited, a new me.....down 74 pounds without a fill. I am so proud of myself. Never thought that I could do this, but I am doing this. With the support of my husband and family, I have been able to have a new life journey and be okay with it all. A whole new way of eating and living.

I've been banded for one year. When I first got banded, my doctor wasn't sure if I would be able to do this, when I went for my last appt. for the year, he told me how I amazed him and that, with me having diabetes it was a up hill battle. The fact that I was able to do this without having a fill he said that is what really impressed him. It hasn't been easy, but I am doing this. Praise God! thank you family for your kind words. Good luck to you all, on your new life journey.

I use unjury protein drinks....they are the best!

Be encouraged and don't let that side track your new life journey....keep up the good work.

You just have to know that this is your new life journey and not his...get back to your routine and you will do great. Be encouraged.

That is fantastic! keep up the good work, I have 40 lbs to go before I reach my goal. I know that you feel great about yourself, I know that I do. I have gone from 24's to 14's Yes!

Great Job, I can't wait to get there.

congrats on your new life journey.

From what you are saying, it sounds to me as if you need some type of counseling. You have way too much going on in your life to concentrate on you. Talk with your doctor to see if he can refer you to a counselor, once you gotten things off of your mind, to can put your mind to losing weight and taking care of you.

Congratulations! I just reached one-derland myself, two days ago. Be encouraged and keep up the good work.
