I was banded in January 2008. Always looking for someone to be a lapband buddy/mentor. Even though I have support from my family and coworkers, it is nice to have outside support. If anyone is available, let me know!! I am only 25 pounds from goal weight and could use that little extra support, just like anyone else.

Hello, I was banded in January 22, 2008. I have lost 60 pounds since the surgery. I have reached a plateau, that I knew would come eventually. I am not sure what I can do more to help get over it and start loosing again. I am only 20-25 pounds from my goal weight. If anyone has suggestions please, I am open for ideas. Deb Hawkins :thumbs_up:

I am also at a stand still. I just had my surgery in january 2008. I have only lost 5 pounds in past 5 weeks. I am down 60 total since surgery, but am only 25 pounds from goal. I have noticed I have been eating differently also. Very disappointed with myself too. Any suggestions for plateau? Keep in touch, we can help each other over this hurdle! Have a great weekend.

I have had this too. I am only 25 pounds from goal weight. I have family that is very supportive. And I just reassure myself, I did this for me, not for those people who think it will fail. hope that helps.

Well, my insurance company had me work with a dietitian for 3 months before surgery. I would be happy to send you the plan she had me do. I lost 45 pounds doing it. Just let me know and I could mail it to you. Sounds like you are ready! It is costly, but worth it!! IT is a huge life change. But I feel so much better and marriage life is awesome again. Let me know and I would be happy to mail dietition stuff to you.

Yah know vomiting was a scare for me too. But you know, I have not felt sick or felt like I had too once. My Dr Prescribed medicine for me to keep in fridge to have on hand so if I ever do get sick. I keep some at work in fridge too just in case. You cant do ibuprophen after surgery. I was lucky, my husband found Adult Liquid Tylenol. So I keep a bottle of that at work and home. My insurance didnt cover Dr Fox, so I had to pay him up front. Luckly we had a personal loan account with our credit union that was open and we used that for him. I was lucky insurance did pay, I was starting to have health issues, so that was in my favor, but it was 6 months of hoops and loops to get them to cover. I honestly dont regret any of it. Please feel free to talk to any of us on this site. I have met some really helpful people! We are on huge support group!!! DEB

Thanks for looking at pictures. I was banded on January 22, 2008. I have no regrets what so ever. I was starting to have health problems, depression, and it was starting to cause problems with my marriage. Getting the lapband changed my life for the best!! I have energy, my health is awesome now, I have high spirits all the time, and my husband and are wonderful now. If I can help you in anyway let me know! Just ask. My insurance did help me with cost. I had loops and hoops I had to do to get them to pay, but it was worth it. email or IM me anytime Deb
