Hello Julyers - I was banded on July 17th with a weight of 254lbs - for the first time in my adult life I am under 200lbs and something has changed in me - I need eat a lot better been eating not so good stuff and depending on workouts to loose any sugestions? I apologize that I am not on line much I am working on my Masters degree and take online classes and work more than full time. I just don't have time. I am taking a two week break from college and then back to school. Thanks ahead of time for any eating sugestions or input from fellow Julyers... Andii

I'm Not Telling Anyone I'm Being Banded.....
alott0613 replied to laurenlee's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am sort of in the middle - I had a bad back injury and I also had a hernia removed so, truth is my back caused me to realize that I could not loose this weight on my own and led me to the band. The hernia they found is what I tell some (especially men) but some people I just tell my whole story. I am not ashamed at all just shy - cause I have noticed that people that know I had the band look me over from head to toe. I guess I have to get used to that. Your choice who you tell and what you tell (the whole story or part)... -
Port Locations are not all the same...

I just had surgery on the 16th and I know my port is still meshing - I think it will be a good spot too - once it heals... -
Port Locations are not all the same...

I was wondering if anyone has their port just below their breast bone in the center of their lower chest and upper abdominals? I saw a picture of someone elses port and it was toward the side of their middle abdominal area - kind of made me wonder why mine was where it was. Im not worried but just wondering. Thanks...:smile2: -

Thank you all so much for your reply, I apologize for taking so long to reply back... Does port location have anything to do with it flipping - I will be working out a lot and in particular I am concerned with doing abs (when its time of course)... -
Anyone banded on 7/16...
alott0613 replied to Teacher2010's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi - I was banded on 7-16, this is the first time I have ever done any kind of online talk stuff - but I know I need the support. I have lost aprox 16lbs, went to the gym today and was on the treadmill for 20min (I was elated) I am taking it easy. I am on the mush diet and feel better each day! I have no regrets...
