stajin22 replied to mdlapband's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Hello, I am from Raleigh NC. I was banded Aug 13, 2009. It has been a real long time need some answers. I am stuck right now. -
I have been banded for 2 years. The experience I have had has not been good. Most of the people I have meet has seemed to just disappear. Currently working to get my last 23 pounds off and it is hard. I live in the same area and a member of planet fitness in Knightdale. Will check back in to see if anyone else replies.

Good morning,
I am glad to announce my back problems have become a thing of the past. The weight has finally started again but I am still only losing 5 pounds a month. I am currently 30 from goal and hope to be half way there by time of my next appointment. I hope that things are going well and that life is treating with lots of love. I do know that me weightloss has been slow but I am still determined as ever to get ot my goal of 160 maybe even lower. The slow weightloss has not caused any sagging skin, that much I am happy about. My job has started a nutrional class and I have joined to see if there is anything else I can do. My thought is if I want it I eat what I can. This is not a diet but a new way of thinking and eating. I also learned I can't compare my results with someone else. You can also email me A gstaton5@nc.rr.com. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi Stajin,
Thought I'd check to see how things are going. Haven't touched base in awhile.

I have gone to a pain management clinic and boy do I feel better. The last week I have been able to exercise(walking) and it is making a difference. I am feelig so much better now but the pain is not completely gone. This has been the hardiest thing to do. As of this morning I am in onederland, can't remember the last tieme I was here. It has been a very so process but I will keep doing what I can. Life sometimes throws us curve balls but we must keep plugging away and moving forward. I will not give up on my band, come to far and refuse to look back.:thumbup: Thanx for the encouragement

I still have a long way to go but with a support system in place I feel like I can get there. No one told me it was going to be easy but I am willing to got he distance. Sorry I did not get back to you before now, I went out of town and I will start walking tomorrow. If you prefer we can use our email addresses( gstaton5@nc.rr.com is my personal address. I really don't visit the boards to much anymore.

I am not sure why this happens but it is happening. The people that was banded with me last year don't even post anymore. I am responsible for my actions and the problems I have. I aquired my band to help me and refuse to compare myself with someone else. Some people lose weight faster than others for me I have not been able to exercise so any pound is a victory for me. The problem started a few months after my surgery(back problems). Sometimes it is good to vent but unless there is a health problem no one really wants to hear it. This is just an observation from this forum. I have lost 32 pounds and happy with it. In time I will finish getting the rest off but until then I don't post, I read them. Are there really people out there that are willing to listen? We get wrapped up in our own lives. Have anyone ever heard pay it forward. This what I plan on doing once I have all the bugs worked out for myself. At this point I can jst listen because I have not figured it out myself.:devil_smile:

Don't be so down on yourself. I was banded the same month as you. My weightloss hass been slow but I am happy with the results. Since banded I have had some serious back problems. My exercise has been very hard to even try and do any. Finally after about 4 months of chiropractor visits I went to a pain specialist. Any victory is better than none and I have accepted that. My weight has come down 32 pounds and I feel better. We all lose at a different pace and we can not compare our weightloss with someone else. All I know is the weight will not come back. According to my doctor, I am doing well. There have been months with no weightloss but there was no gain. I average 4 to 5 pounds a month. It may not seem like much to you or someone else, but is a victory for me. At the present time I am half way there with only 44 more pounds to lose. Keep your chin up and it will all work itself out. If you would like to keep in contact for support send me a private message. I have found a couple of people but no one really keeps up with me.:devil_smile: -
My next appointment is next week so I will speak with someone then. It is just really frustrating that I can only go 6 weeks without having problems with siactica. The next 6 weeks is all down hill.
