Would you do it again?
jennamoose replied to TerriDoodle's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Yes. Banded in April of '06 and lost about 25 pounds initially, but then I did not start to drop the weight until Nov. of '06 when I reached my sweet spot. Since then it has been a steady loss of 4-5 lbs a month. I have lost a total of 66 pounds. I would like to drop another 50 pounds and feel that is possible by this time next year. -
Good Luck! :clap2: We are having surgery the same day! :clap2: I am scheduled for 7:30 a.m on Wednesday 4/19! I wish you the best and look forward to seeing your post- band posts! Jen V.

Post ops, please post your favorite meals.

I haven't had the surgery yet, (scheduled for next week, 4/19!:clap2: ) but noticed that a lot of responses list protien shakes as a meal replacement. What are some of the best shakes and where do you get them???? Also, it is good to see that a lot of you eat really normal foods, just not a lot!! Thanks, Jen V. -
Wow, what a story. Way cool! You are an inspiration to everyone! I hope & pray that next year this time I will be writing a post like yours. I am scheduled to be banded on 4/19/06.:nervous Thank you for sharing your inspiring story! :clap2: Jen V.

Hi, Just wondering how much time to expect to take off of work after Lap-Band Surgery. I work a desk job and was planning on being back to work 5 days post surgery. :faint: Is this realistic? I would appreciate any sage advise and personal stories I can get from all of the Banded members! I am scheduled for 4/19/06. Yippie!:nervous Thanks, Jennamoose

Hi! I am a 20W now, pre-op, but would love to be a small size 12, that meaning I could wear a 12 in ANYTHING! I am 5'9" so I am not really fat at that size. At least that is what I remember from 10 years ago when I last saw a 12! :omg: Guess I will be on my way soon, surgery scheduled for 4/19/06!:biggrin1: Jen V.

Thanks for the informaiton! I am thinking of putting in for a few more days, just to have the option, if needed!

Thanks for the information Susan! I figured everyone is different, and also teaching is a lot more physical than sitting behind a desk all day! I have also heard that the gas pains can last up to 3 weeks. I am not looking forward to that! Thanks again! Jennamoose

Hi, SIzes are soooo confusing. I am 5'9/260 and wear a size 18W.:straight When I was 185 (many, many years ago) I wore a size 12 or 14. So I guess it all depends on your height and build. All of the replies sure support that theory!
