meandmyweightloss

Did you talk to Dr.Baggs? I thought they said once we had lap band we were covered for that for ever? Will they charge you?

Hi.....I had my surgery 2 years ago...I was 247 at the time and am 164 now.....I have totally gone back to my old ways....although I hadn't been gaining (although I think I'm starting to) I just can't seem to wrap my head around what to do to get back to that way of thinking. I miss how obsessed I was with i before....I'm no longer accountable to anyone it feels...I still get stuck from time to time so I know I dont need a fill....I don't know just wondering if anyone had any advise...I would like to at least meet my goal which was 150....uuugghh...feel blah

It realy depends alot on how quick you loose the weight before hand that they want you to loose and how dedicated you are. I think I was one of the quicker ones, I went to oreintation and had surger 2 months later. but I really busted my butt. I know some people take years some a few months. Good luck I was 247 at orientation and am 164 now (2yrs later) still have a little to loose but I feel pretty great

I know right? You would think I would just do it already, I have been at this weight for over a year. I lost a lot right at the begining because I was so dedicated and at some point got comfortable with how I look. Now I want to get down some more.

Thank you so much for the advise. You know sometimes just hearing it from someone else helps reap my head around it again It's all the things I know but just need to be reminded THank you

Oh Reggie...I'm so sorry and so happy for you all at the same time!!! I hate to see anyone feel that way but sometimes (as they say) it takes an act of GOD!! I am really struggling too...I did so well at the beginning that I now have picked all my bad habits up again....I recently gained 4 pds...it scares me...I eat whatever I want!!! I feel like I don't know where to begin again!!!! I called Kaiser and talked to Robyn a while back...it helpeed for a minute but now I'm back to it!!! I need my act of GOD

Hey Moniqued.. I was just reading your post and could not relate with you more!!! I had my band placed May of 2009...I am 164 but go up and down about 5 pds....can't seem to llose anymore but totally my own doing....I want to get motivated again...I miss that feeling I had at the begining of this journey... I even called Robyn the other day and she (suprisingly) was very motivational......we will see!! Just wanted to write cause what you were posrting sounded all so familiar!!

I read your posts about loosing the weight...I talked to Dr.Baggs a little about that yesterday and he said he has pt who are 3 and 4 yrs out still lossing weight...we can do it....we have to be thankful for how much heathlier we are now and focus on continueing to loose...it is a struggle!! :thumbup:
