  1. Happy 57th Birthday lingra!

  2. I'm having the same pain but mine is located below my left breast but seems to be at the top of my rib cage. I have a doctors appt on wed. 02-20-13. I have had this pain now for 4 days, all day. I had the flu and was sick and constantly throwing up. I hope that I didn't cause any damage to my band.
  3. It's been a long time since i visited the site. But im happy i did. I learned so much about TT surgery and insurance. I've been living with this extra skin hanging on my stomach for so long, that I can't enjoy my weight loss. It's time for me to get rid of the skin. Thanks for motivating me to ACTION. Best of luck to everyone.
  4. Happy 56th Birthday lingra!

  5. I am having the same problems. Im 10 lbs from my goal. I've continued to exercise and walk daily but can't lose the last 10 lbs. I started playing basketball with my 30 yrs daughter and 10 yr old grand-daughter to try to change up my excerise workout. Im hope this will get the pounds to start dropping again. I thought that maybe my body was use to the same old routine.

    This sounds great,. Must check into getting one.
  8. I was banded on August 12,2009. It's was the best decision i've ever made. I weighed 242 lbs and today im at 155 lbs. Im very happy with my success and my lapband. It works.
  9. I was banded on Aug. 12th, 2009. I love my lapband and it makes me accountable. You have to work with your lapband. It's a tool to help you succeed. Hope this helps you.
  10. I had a fill on 12/12/11, and today i fill like everything is getting stuck. This afternoon that stuck feeling is starting to loosen up. I thought about getting a small unfill also. I will just monitor my situation and go from there. If I have to get unfilled, i will have to travel from Las Veas, NV back to Phoenix, AZ to get it done.

    CONGRATULATIONS! YOU LOOK MARVELOUS. IM MORE MOTIVATED AFTER SEEING YOU PHOTOS.
  12. On August 12th, It will be 2 yrs since my surgery. I am happy and have lost 77 lbs. I couldn't have done this without the lapband. Im 20 lbs away from my goal. Thanks to all who helped me along the way.
  13. 2 years has passed since you registered at LapBandTalk! Happy 2nd Anniversary lingra!

  14. I am also having that same feeling, that i just hate the way my body looks now. I know we all did this to lose the weight, but it plays tricks on your mind. I'm 54 and have lost 65lbs. I had my surgery on 08-12-09, so I've lost the weight pretty slow. I wanted to lose slowly so I wouldn't have to much skin sagging. Im greatful for the weight loss, but need help mentally finding the beauty in myself. Thanks goes to your husband who compliments your beauty and "thinks you're hot." Stay on track and we must all love our new self.
  15. Slow is the correct way to lose the weight. If you lose to fast your skin will sag and not have time to tighten on it own.
