Hi, I was banded on August 17, so far i have the same symptoms as you, i call my dr and says that's normal i'm walking a little bit maybe two blocks only because i still feel weak, tomorrow start the full liquids diet and have the first app. for wednesday 26. Heaviest weight 6 months ago 325/lbs Weight before pre op diet 277 /lbs Weight before surgery 261/ lbs.

Hi, congratulations I lost 49 pounds before the pre op diet, and with the pre op diet another 14 pounds so that's 63 in total. Tomorrow is my surgery date. I'm not nervous at all. Will see what happens later. Keep going you are doing it pretty good. My doctor want me to lose like 20 pounds and see how many i lost, 4 months of diet and Gym doing cardio 5 times a week burning from 1100 to 1300 calories a day, and eating between 1200 to 1500 calories a day. Good Luck

Hi, thanks to the replys. I was at 330 pounds and 51.7 bmi and now i'm at 295 pounds and 46.2 bmi I haven't had any surgery yet and i'm not taking any diets pills. My weight loss is for the diet and the Gym. In the first 12 pounds i wasn't really doing any diet, just trying to eat good and walk more but when the doctor told me about my weigh loss i get motivated, so i decide to make a diet and start working out, I'm burning about 1200 calories a day in the treadmill, 5 days a week and trying to consume no more than 1800 calories a day, sometimes even 1500. I even did the liquid diet with the slim fast optima for 1 week, just getting the 4 cans a day and that's it. To tell you the true i never though in getting the lap band, but since i lost almost 35 pounds on my own i think i just need some help, not something to drastic like the by pass. I decided to get the sleeve gastric but i'm thinking to get the lap band instead. My surgery is schedule for August/17. My goal is to loose about 100 pound. Any suggestions? Thanks (Sorry for any mistakes in grammar, english is not my main language)

Hi Everybody I'm in the same dilemma i choose the sleeve gastric, but right now i'm thinking to get the lap band I'm still two months away from my surgery date 08/17 at Bellevue Hospital Center in NYC. This happend because in the last two months i've lost 22 pounds by my self with gym and diet. So this make me think that i don't need something to drastic because i could do it for my self. So at the moment at 75% sure to get the lap band and the other 25% for the sleeve gastric. Any suggestions? George from Ny 5' 7"/295/28 yrs. Good Luck!
