When was you banded and how much u lost?
Debbie3sons replied to destinyford's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
OK to start I have a question for you are you getting banded or thinking about other wls, now I will say I was banded Sept 28th 2012 and have lost 93 lbs so far I was 320 lbs when I started thinking about getting banded , but I was banded Sept. 2o12 and weighed 276 then , before banding I weighed a bit more but the 2 week diet to shrink my liver that the doctor ordered me to do made me lose the weight so I could be banded , so do your research and ask ANY questions to your Doctor so you are comfortable with what ever surgery you choose , all I can say is my band is helping me and if you can't tell click on my pic then go to my gallery and you will notice the changes, it took me a while to notice also till people kept telling me , and I am SO MUCH MOCRE ACTIVE and have SO MUCH MORE energy, well good luck and if you do choose the band there are a lot of informative , nice , and helpful people on here also and most of us like to just talk about are experiences and not each others and 98% of us try to give positive feed back and encouragement. -
I was craving a slurpee this last summer so I got a small one found out it has carbonation and yes even the crystal light ones , just for me it was not a good experience and I didn't even drink through a straw , it was like a roller coaster in my body fro my toes to the top of my head , so I found out for me it was not good and it felt weird also in July it will be 2 yrs. since I have had a soda of any kind, and if I drink anything it's not through a straw my Doctors orders.

You guys are truly my Role models <3
Debbie3sons replied to Jennifer Michelle Plumley's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Just stopping by to say don't be nervous, as we have all went though that and you have been doing your research and reading some of our post , so I just know I made the right decision for me to get banded and be healthy, just remember it is not easy as some people may think and follow your Docs. orders and instructions and you will be fine and do good, so welcome to band land and the start of a new journey in life. -

Ok le I mean banders Alex has posted about , having wls chapters to go to if any is interested in your state , I love the idea , I am here in Califrand it would be nice to have a special place to meet or do things with other banders , as Iid before I tried to get in to a couple of groups for banders but if your not with that Hospi or Doctor then they won't let you in and I don't think that's exceptable , I mean I have a bariatric surgeon that is 15 min. away , but I have to drive...

First post -- am I making the right decision?
Debbie3sons replied to Skywalker's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The Lap Band is reversible , NOT the other ones, like sleeve ryn or rny, or gastric by pass or vsg so remember if you don't want them to re arrange or take part of your stomach , so why would some one say that gastric bypass is reversable when it's not , that is why I personally chose the band my self because if something did go wrong then I would know they could take it out and I still have my body and health know many people that things have happened with stapeling,b y pass and ryn, and they are in my family so I did my research thourghly and chose the band for that reason. -
This is good for people to know and we do Thank putting it out there and on here How ever remember tot that it was slim band and NOT Lap band please, as we are banded people ,but this is a great post for people to know so they don't go there or any other slim band offices in any area or state.

Just a tought , I was talking to someone about foods and I thought wow I don't eat any white starcstuff any more as my band says no no no , do you still eat white starchy stuff and how much , just a thought , see I ld love to eat the stuff but my band helps me to say no , because if I ate those things it would not be a good feeling and I like feeling good, just a thought.

Share Your NSVs Here Please!
Debbie3sons replied to DELETE THIS ACCOUNT!'s topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Ok I went to the grocery store today and I didn't take in enough money so the checker I knew suspended my trans action because there were people behind me and I didn't want to make the wait , told him I would run to my car and get more , and to my surprise I actually did run , lmao I have only ran twice having the band , as I could barley walk before , so that was a nsv been on a plateau for 3 months , but I guess since my clothes are smaller she thought I lost more weight. -
First post -- am I making the right decision?
Debbie3sons replied to Skywalker's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Lap band is not a cure all for our eating habits but it is a tool to help us with our portion control that we can not control on our own , and there are a few people on here that have the band with plication wish I would have known about the plication also , but I have lost about 88 lbs. since I started in July 2012 and I still struggle but with out the band I would still struggle up and not down I also would not be able to walk on my own , Yeah had to use a cane just to walk and for breathing I could hardly breath , now I am more active , with no assistance and I can breath also don't have sleep apnea any more , so ask you Doc. many questions do your research and like I said be click on some of our pics from 2012 , 2013 and notice we have made the decision to make our selves more healthy , the other benefit is we start to feel so much better about our selves , again , good luck in what surgery you choose. -
NO because we still have to exercise and ach what we put in our bodies , so we just have a tool that reminds of that , so t think it's unfair we still have to put in our work .

I am so happy for youu and Celebrate Happy banderversery , and many years to your life and health. -
Your Doc. needs to find out what is going on , have them check with floro and a x ray , also have them check your Thyroid , sometimes that is hard to check , just a suggestion , and how many fills have you had , I also have been at what I call a plateau for bout 3 months weight has not gone up or down and I have hay fills so I am not sure what's going on , but I will let Doc. know when I get in to see him, I am sorry that you are having a negative experience , some do and some don't some going in thinking it's a quick fix and that they will lose a lot of weight over night , wrong we also have to still watch what we are doing or putting in our mouth and stomach's, well I hope get better for you and remember the band is reversible , but try and give it some more time , some times we get impatient , but , talk with your doc thourughly and let them concerns and don't let them blow you off, that's what their there for you are one of their patients just like every body else , well I hope you get answers good luck.
