8 Month Anniversary, How's everyone doing?
SweetReesie replied to jdelaere's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I havent been on this forum in a long time, but want to congratulate everyone. I started @ 281 and now have been @ 190-195 for the last 6-8 weeks. It can be frustrating, but then I think about how I was before. I did pig out during the holidays and know that I have done better, but have to remember this is a lifestyle change. Good luck to everyone...in a few months we can all say "what a year it has been" :smile: -
Wow 81lbs that's great. Sorry to hear about the hair loss. Tha't one of my concerns because I've read several pages where people complain about hair loss. Can I ask why did you wait 8 months. Does the failure to take the vitamins cause substantial hair loss? I just switched my insurance to ppo it will come into effect on 1/1/2010. I'm praying I get approved I've already had a consultation by the Dr. I want to perform the surgery and he said I qualify. i'll keep you posted but any advise about insurance would be great.

Changes before surgery and after

I am sorry for taking a while to respond. I am not on here like I used to. I was banded March 18th and so far I have lost 81lbs. I am not sure what I can tell you about my experience except I was nervous and waited 8 long months before I had the surgery. I am happy and the only complications I seem to have are simple and due to my error, losing hair - as a result of not taking vitamins, constipation-not drining enough water...but wouldnt change it for anything in the world. Contact me anytime if you need or just want to chat... Once again accept my apologies for taking so long to reply

Missing food, but not the weight
SweetReesie replied to SweetReesie's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I cant eat the bread and that's whats devastating... I usually don't deprive myself, its just wanting what I can no longer have like Steak... my band wont allow it! -
Congrats on your success you look great I would love to hear about your experience. I can't wait to get banded just waiting to change insurance in hopes that will get me one step closer to band land

I had my band surgery on the 18th of March. I am really happy that I have lost weight and overcome some health issues I had. I can now wear normal clothes and no longer have to visit the plus size section. While I am thrilled with my weight loss I really miss eating certain food. I go to a University that is surrounded around good food. I can not eat bread nor hamburgers and really miss eating them. I know that I should be happy and forever forget about burgers but just wonder if others have that emotional sadness of not having certain foods. Wondering are there others who feel the same way

Pezo, Thanks so much for the suggestion. I just had an unfil where they took out some liquid after going through the same feeling. I will see if it works should it happen again! -

I almost 6 months out as I was banded on March 18th. I have lost a total of 71lbs so far and hadnt realized how much I lost until I tried on a size L dress I got from Target. Their clothes have always been so tight to me. I always told my husband that the clothes there ran small... Well to my surprise this morning the dress fits just right. I know that sometimes we get discouraged and dont lose what we want to lose, but I want to remind everyone that even 5lbs lost is making us healthier. Everyone keep up the good work! We can and will succeed at our weightloss goals whether its a year from now or three. Congratulations once again to everyone for making a life changing decision.

Having problems and don't know what to do?
SweetReesie replied to jdelaere's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I am not sure what you are doing now but try drinking 80 oz of water or more per day. It seemed to help me get back on track a few weeks ago. Also try taking multi-vitamins. I hope this helps!
