  1. I just had my lap band put into place at NYU by Dr. Ren September 27, and I've got to tell you that although I am currently in the post op liquid diet phase, this has been the best decision I've ever made. Not only do I already feel better, I've grown to get used to the shakes! I went into this process with a very positive outlook, and believing in myself and to this day I know that with the help of my lap band, and learning new habits I will lose and keep off the weight.

    Just Banded!

    Hello everyone, My name is Sami, I am 20 years old, and I was banded on September 27th, 2016! I started my journey in February, 2016, weighing 297lbs. Almost hitting 300lbs at such a young age triggered my curiosity to explore different wild options. I decided that lap band would be my best option, and with that took the next 7 months to prepare my body and mind for the eating and lifestyle changes coming my way. Here are my weight loss stats so far: HW: 297lbs SW (1st recorded weight w/ doc): 291lbs SW (pre-op diet): 275lbs Day of Surgery: 261lbs CW: 258lbs Total weight loss: 39lbs My surgery went great! However, I came out expecting 5 incisions, and only have 2!! Does anybody else have only 2 scars as well? I'm not complaining lol, I'm just wondering if this is common. Thanks for listening, #newgirlwhodis Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

    Just Banded!

    Well, my post- op instructions said to take the waterproof bandaging off today, so I now have a better look at my scars! I have one small cut in the middle of my upper stomach area, what seems to be one long cut across my belly button, and what may be another small incision right under my belly button. My steri strips aren't very secure around my belly button however, do you think this should concern me?? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
