    Any banders ride motorcycles?

    I heard vibrations were bad for the band. Will riding a motorcyle (vibrations) cause the band to slip?? Anyone know? I was banded on 2-15-08.
  2. I'm not losing weight! Since my surgery Feb. 15, 2008, I have only lost 20 lbs. My presurgery weight was 193 lb (i'm 5'2") and now on July 29, 2008, I weight 172. Pitiful, right? However, on the bright side, I'm not gained weight. Does 20lbs in 5 months seem SLIGHT to you? I've not had that full filling--hardly ever. I'm depressed about not losing much weight. Also, I do exercise 1-2 hrs. everyday. My doctor is very conservative with fill restrictions, too.

    I'm unhappy. Lost only 20lbs since feb. surgery.

    I've had a fill each and every month since April--three fills total. The fills are tiny--maybe 1 cc or less.
  5. When and where is the National lap band conference?

    Attention All Biker Ladies - and Gentlemens!

    I'm 51. Never rode a bike before 2006. I wanted to ride my own bike and not on the back with hubby. We started with 2 Vespa's. We took a motorcycle training course together before we bought the Vespa's. Rode the Vespa's for 9 mo. --then we bought two Yamaha 400 Majesty's. We have 2,500 miles on the Majesty's which is much more stable than the Vepas. Start low and graduate...take a training course....Harley's are great, but i want the ease of an automatic Yamaha Majesty, particularly for my age and ability.

    Any banders ride motorcycles?

    Thanks! I was banded on FEb. 15. and took a two hour motorcycle ride on the 7th day! (I bet the doc wouldn't like it) But, Felt great! We were out again this weekend (on the 15th day) and the trip was even better! But, after the first trip, I started to worry than I'd done something wrong. I live in west texas and the weather was great this weekend, 88 degrees! Good luck to everyone!!!!

    Calling all February Bandsters!

    Hi! I've just signed in for the first time. I'm a Feb.15th lap bander. Already lost over 10lbs! I have a new lap band that has a 360 degree fill. My doc called it baby blue. Also, I had a hiatal hernia repaired during my lap band surgery. Great two for one deal!! So far, i'm very much in love with my band. And, oddly, proud of my scars. Does anyone out there ride a motorcycle? I was wonderling if the vibrations would make the band slip. Does anyone know?
