I have learned a lot from the people in here.. I am currently at a stand still. I haven't lost any weight in three weeks.. i am not scheduled to see the surgeron until September 21, 2011. -

Welcome ti the club Lauren. U will probably meet a lot of people who can relate to what u are going through.. im a lot older than you 11 years. I had the surgery seven months ago. I do have to say this the band alone wont make you lose weight. You are going to exercise and watch what you eat.. -

congrats on making the decision to have lapband surgery.. I don't regret the decision to have the surgery. I have been banded for seven months as of today to be exact.. I have lost 55 pounds.. I started in a size 22 currently in a 16 and some 14s. You will also realize that its going to take you longer to see the changes verses your family and friends.. I told everyone about my surgery howeever some people decide not to and keep it to themselves.. i found easier to tell them which means that they would be supportive.. if someone tells you that you are cheating tell them no you are'nt and its a tool because the band itself won't let you lose weight.. you still have to watch what you eat and exercise.. i will tell someone in a heart beat that.. You are going to need to get you some gas x strips the blue ones.. and a heating pad.. it works help with the gas pain.. which is horrible.. but once you get pass it you will be find.. make sure that you don't leave the hospital without a prescription for antinausea medication whether or not you need it its better to be safe than sorry.. I had issues about four days later when i got in the car for the first time.. I ended up getting car sick.. I wanted to die but that was seven months ago.. After surgery make yourself get up as soon as possible and WALK!!! Walking helsp with the gas pain also.. I also recommend you going grocery shopping prior to surgery.. you will need Jello, juice, Water, chicken broth or beef.. i got the one in the green box that you add water.. only one I could tolerate. i also got the smartwater because of the electrolytes.. i drank crystal light.. thats my new crack (instead of diet mt dews).. don't get discourage if you don't lose weight when you transist from liquids to mushies.. remember to walk.. I wasn't allowed to do anything but walk until i was 8 weeks post op.. thats also when i had my first feel each doctor is different.. you will learn that also..

Dr. Parham Mora - Dr. Mora's Office
sassy k's mommy posted a topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
I am currently using Dr. Praham Mora's office in Prattville, Alabama. I really like him and his office staff. This office staff are great. They are patience with you and answers all your questions. Dr. Mora is very thorough and I am thankful for him being that way. I would rather have a doctor who knows what they are doing verses just cut happy. I believe very strongly that Dr. Mora knows what he is doing. Tara who is the individual I have been dealing with since trying to get the lapband surgery. She has handled everything with the insurance company. I also like the fact that Dr. Mora actually attends the monthly support group meetings and the his also bring some of his staff member. I believe this give them a personal relationship with their patients. -
i didn't get to zumba last night because I forgot my clothes.. So hopefully, i can get some extra exercise in the weekend.. i know one thing is for sure that I need to get some swimming in..
-
I didn't stay in the hospital at all. I left there about 630pm the day of surgery.. I had no intentions of staying in the hospital..
-
one thing to remember is that you need to plan meals and snacks.. when you don't it can lead to things that aren't the best.. However, when you do make the wrong decisions just realize that its going to be okay and move on.. but remember protein is better and reminder yourself the reasons you are doing this and its to be healthy, sexy and bad ass.. what else is there to say??

HELP! Not Losing Weight. Frustrated.
sassy k's mommy replied to ~Sabrina K~'s topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Thats also true.. I do around 1200 but i change up to 1000 every once in a while.. If I do manage to go over I try not to stress out... a lot of people i know seem to hit a plateau around 6-9 months.. which is a time you should be loosing.. just remember do document everything that helps.. i use myfitnesspal to document calories and food intake -
