WOW! Your progress is awesome. Can you share what you did in the weeks after surgery to lose and maintain your focus? I haven't had the surgery, but I am HIGHLY considering it. I have about 130 lbs to lose.

Congratulations and well wishes!!!

I am a 5'3", 279lb female considering lap band. For those who have already done it, what would you recommend doing prior to surgery? I have heard many good and bad stories and am truely confused about whether to go through with it or not. I've been on many diets and weight loss programs and still seem to gain the weight back and think that a little assistance such as the lap band would give me the boost I need to continue. Right now I'm at a point where I'm totally unmotivated. Feedback would be helpful. Thanks.

Wow! I wish you much success with your weight loss endeavors. Sounds like you had a great Doctor and I think that can be the difference between you and the ones who don't have as good a Doctor and post-op care. Keep us posted on your weight loss. When you say pre-op diet, what did that consist of?

Thanks for your reply. It appears you had it done earlier this month and have lost 17 lbs; is that correct? How are you feeling and what in your opinion has helped you lose 17 lbs in less than a month? That's pretty darn good! Congratulations!
