Six Years Later....loving My Lap Band
Lap Band Gal replied to ChrisC's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Awesome post! Thanks for the update -

Yes. Southern Oregon bariatric center has support groups in Medford and grants pass. I go to the band specific group in Medford.

Toning & Resistance Training Is Key! Proof Is In This Photo.
Lap Band Gal posted a topic in Fitness & Exercise
Check out my blog post today showing how even though I weighed the same a year ago, I have changed my shape (smaller!) due to all the toning and resistance training I've done. The comparison pic is here: http://lapbandgalsjourney.blogspot.com/2012/03/i-enjoy-sharing-sweaty-shoes-with.html- 1 reply

What Made You Choose Lapband Over Roux-En-Y Wls?
Lap Band Gal replied to Riverbuff2's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I originally chose RNY and went as a pre-op to my surgeon's support groups for the RNY'ers. By listening to the RNY patients and their lifestyles and what it was like for them day-to-day to live with RNY, this made me switch to the band. I've never regretted the decision. Have you been to any band or RNY support groups? I highly recommend it. -
Yum, sounds good to me. ditto what shauna said: You will be able to eat at Olive Garden again. The band never stops me from making bad food choices. Enjoy your party

I'm so sorry to hear of this. Hang in there and get well Hugs

I would have loved that manual when I was pre-op (and the first year post-op) - thanks for sharing

Lap Band Vs Roux En Y
Lap Band Gal replied to Melgirl's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
If possible, attend the support groups associated with each surgery to learn more. Listen to the patients and hear what it's like for their day to day lives. This is what I did and this made me choose the band, not RNY. -
First Airplane Trip Post Band...
Lap Band Gal replied to Dawn200321's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I fly all the time internationally and domestic and I notice NOTHING different when I fly with my band. However, the mental stress that comes from travel, may cause one's restriction to increase. Have a great flight! -
Ccorea: are you physically hungry? Or is it "head hunger"? What band do you have?
-
Ccorrea: are you writing down what you eat (limit to 1200 calories or less and at least 60 grams of proteins) each day? Are you exercising? What is your accountability? Are you recording weekly weigh-ins. I did all of the above to lose 115 lbs in 14 months. Let me know if you need any exercise ideas or food tips. Please check in and let us know how you're doing
