INTRODUCTIONS-please introduce yourself here before going to another thread
wildercrews replied to Mindful's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Welcome Natasha. You will find this to be a great forum - good information and friendly folks. I was banded on April 14 and have lost 38 pounds (pre/post op). To date, I had no problems with the hband. -
I am yet holding on (My Grandmother used to say that). Preparing for our family reunion in Nashville this weekend. I am doing pretty good; weight lost averages 1 pound a week. Joined the seniors aerobics class 4 weeks ago - love it.

There is a great thread on this site under 'food and nutrition' written by Stickey (I think). Good luck -

You are right - I hate, hate being called sweetie. I am 62 years old and find it offensive. -

wildercrews replied to Lady Q T's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I was banded April 14 after 10 months on going back and forth with the adm staff there. It was a struggle not to 'go off' on them for their nonresponsive attitude but I got through it. Just got a patient survey in the mail this week and will express my disappointment. On the other hand, the docs were GREAT! -
Welcome, Honey. This is a great forum.

Looking for any Apostolic, UPCI, PAW Bandsters!
wildercrews replied to sistasassy's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
PTL! I am with the Church of God, a holiness church. There is a Christian thread on this forum. Great folks! Check it out. Be blessed. -
I was apprehensive before the surgery but it went so well for me. No PBing, vomiting, etc. Some gas but nothing I haven't experienced before. I am a lot older than you and doing well. Hope things work out well for you.

Yes, I understand how you feel. About 6 weeks post-op, I joined a senior chair aerobics group and those seniors really work it. I am into my 4 week with them 3x a week and loving it. Just start slow and after a while it will become a habit.

Baby Food Sucks!
wildercrews replied to ChristineXtreme's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I couldn't do the baby foods either. Did the soups and protein drinks. Good luck to you. The shoulder pain will go away. -

Sorry to hear about your experience. Praying that you have a full recovery. -
Not losing weight but losing sizes.....confused
wildercrews replied to debrainwater's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I can relate to this. I, too, was banded on 4/14 and lost 35 lbs (pre and post op). However, for the last 2 weeks - nothing. I am older than you and have joined an seniors aerobics class that meets 3x weekly. I walk 3 miles daily. I have dropped inches and not lbs but it will show up on the scales. Keep up the good work. -
I am wearing my 'big' clothes now and honestly, I need to go shopping. Suggest you look into consignment shops or find out if there is a 'clothes swap group' in your area. Good luck.

Today was my first day back at work. and...
wildercrews replied to LeslieR041906's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yeah, you overdid it. Take at least 5 to 10 days off before returning to work. It will help with your healing process. -
No Info For After Surgery!!!
wildercrews replied to Bigjedda's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yes, that makes sense. Talk to your surgeon's office. Continue to use this site - it has tons of information. -
I like Unjury shakes. You buy them on line.

It depends on the person. I lost 32 pounds and dropped 2 dress sizes, from a 24 to 20.

It depends - some folks 5 -10 pounds. Check with your doctor. Be encourage it will work out.
