thank u for the pic comment... yes my decision is more for health reasons this weight is literally killing me i have two small children to think about i want to be around for a long time

. Unfortunately your weight will slow down once you start back eating solid foods. I was encouraged to get in at least 130g of protein daily to help build muscle to replace the fat. Good luck and if I can assist you in any way please let me know.

Hey, Im having my band in DEC and I am around the weight you were, I was looking at your photos, and I was wondering if you can offer some helpful advice on exercise that helped you the most. I plan on making it a daily thing and I was wondering what did the best for you? I would greatly appreciate it, i can't wait till im in that little black dress!

Hey Melanie . .I'm doing well. Consistent weight loss and had my first fill on 10/1. How did your 2nd fill go and are you feeling more restriction?

I got on the scale today...I don't like what I see, LOL. Didn't gain but didn't lose either. I know it'll take time before the weight starts to shed but I'm doing everything I'm supposed to. Maybe I'm still swollen? I hope so...let's see what the scale says on Thursday, one week post-op.

How is you weight lose going? I was banded in May of this year and I have only lost 30lbs and had 3 fills so just hang in there everyone is different

How are things going with your weight lost. I am really trying to get down at least 10 /15 pound before 12-15-2010. My husband is riding his motorcycle with his the other bikers to give out toys for tots around the surrouding area. I don't want to look good riding with my husband.

Hi JanaBanana,

Have you lost any more weight with the band. Where is your body weight now after lapband. Do you regret getting it done?

I hope you feel better and hopefully the weight will start to come off soon. I was not given a fill on my last visit, because he thought I was doing fine without it. I trusted what he had to say, but a little wouldn't hurt at all. I know the weight is going to come off slowly so I just have to be patient. Check on you later.

Hello Everyone, Good luck with your future life changing weight loss.

summer of 2008....and i think its just taking forever cause the weight loss center is so busy! it's a bit frustrating..but maybe i'm just being impatient? my bmi is 48..so that's not the problem..lol

Ooooh, you're so pretty! You look great! How much weight have you lost? Thanks for posting and being such an inspirtation to us all!

I can't wait to start loosing instead of gaining. Florida, here we come!

You look fab. Katie! I have a question how do you keep the weight coming off what is your secret. I was banded on third of Dec. I have loss 30lbs so far my biggest fear is not losing enough. I would like to hear any pointers. Thanks and i envy you.

I hear you my weight has pretty much stayed the same but I get scared sometimes because I feel like I don't get full or I'm always hungry I think it's in my mind. Thank god I only have a little over a week. My best friend got banded in May so I see the difference in the amount of food you can eat. My doctor also let me go in the room with her to get a fill so I've seen that process too. I think she is a fill junkie too she has lost 80 pounds so far. So I also have a partner to help me through this process.

U look good!, and also Congratulations! How in the hell have u lost so much weight? I'm happy as hell for u but a little jealous wit yo skinny a**!:thumbup: LOL! Pleeeeezzzze give me some advice!:w00t:

Well in my experience of working out alot ect. I reccomend you to not do weight training right now cause it weighs more than fat that will be the reason your loseing inches instead of lbs.. Dont do in door exercises walk out side!!!!!!! You burn way more cause you work harder that way with out knowing it. I do reccomend u to work out only once a week with weights... Hows your dieting?? Hows your restriction? Maybe your eatting more than u think and you need another adjusment fill? I turned in my leave request for the surgery to my work. I have surgery Jan 20th so Im requesting the 22nd through 25th off I already have 20th and 21 scheduled of so that should be more than enough time to recoop?

Hello

I have had my lapband since July 2007. I have been slow losing weight main because I still eat things I should. I had my last fill in July 2008. The last couple of weeks I have been experience horrible heart burn/reflux and trapped gas in my back. After I burp many times the back pain goes away but starts all over the next day. I will be going to the doctor this week. Does anyone have any suggestions for me that will help stop this pain.

Hi Mc in Md,

I saw your stats and we are similiar in weight, height and age. I have my surgery Dec. 14 and I am 189 today @ 5' 1 1/2". I am 38 years old. I was wondering how long did it take you to reach goal? I am so excited to have it done. Do you have any advice to offer on what worked for you and what was the hardest to do? I plan on working out with weights 3 days/week and treadmill 3-4 days a week. Also, do you have any extra skin? I will prob need a tummy tuck because I have had 2 c-sections. Thanks for sharing your info.
