  1. Hi everyone - I have been lurking around this site for several months and decided to join. I had lap band surgery on Nov. 11, 2008. As of today I have lost 91 lbs. I know that my weight loss is a little above normal but I started out weighing 315 lbs. and now weigh 224. I still have a ways to go and enjoy all the encourgement I have seen on this board. Have a great day! Karen

    Good luck on your surgery. I can remember scouring the messages boards looking for positive information on the lap band. I was sure that this was the surgery I wanted but was still scared because there was alot of negative things posted on the boards. My greatest strength through my surgery and now weight loss has been my faith. I am a firm believer in prayer and feel that the Lord has made all this possible. I have been a failure at diets for 30 years and am always afraid that I could revert back to those old ways. So I try to follow the lap band rules. Eat the right foods, Chew chew and chew, only eat off a dessert plate with the right amount of foods on it and I exercise everyday for at least 30 minutes. Good Luck!!!
