I was banded in July and have lost 45 pounds. I lost my job last week, and find myself reaching for food for comfort. I haven't lost anything in 2 weeks now, and I'm worried.

Hey Everyone... It's been about a week and a half since I was banded. I have had some bleeding from the port inscision, that won't stop. Any suggestions? I was banded in Mexico, and the Dr said to apply pressure. Which works if I don't move, get up or turn on my side.

My lap band is in 2 weeks. Can anyone out there who has been banded in the last few months answer me this. How hard has it been for you to change all your eating patterns. Do you still have the same must have's as you did B-4 surgery? Its hard to imagine not wanting to do what I've always wanted to do B-4. Is it that much easier? I work for a caterer and Im around great food and desserts all day and Im very scared I'll still have the compelling desire to eat everything . Please someone write me back..Thank you......Wendy

No I am not working yet, I'll go back on thw 25th. I took 2 weeks off and boy am I glad. Some people say they went back to work after taking a few days but, that in my opinion is not a good idea. I haven't had any complications and wounds look wonderful but this is a major surgery and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
It was the best choice I've made for myself in a very long time. I had my first follow-up appointment today and Dr. M was very impressed with my incisions and my overall progress. He doesn't fill your band until the 2nd week out. He believes in allow your body to heal from surgery to give you every possible chance at being successful.
When is your surgery?

Hi! Welcome! I was banded on Nov 26, just over 6 weeks ago. I started at 249, and was only a few lbs lighter for surgery, so I use that as my start wt. Right now, i'm at 213, so I've lost 36 lbs! I had a very easy surgery and recuperation and I followed my Drs orders post-surgery. That's critical. Where are you getting banded? In the US or Mexico? I live in MD, and was banded by Dr. Greened. You should also jump on the blogs and ask lots of questions. Most of the people are great, and although none of us are Drs, learning from our own experiences and those of others that have gone through it is very good. The surgery is definitely worth it and I totally understand you wanting more info.
Let me know if you have any more questions. I check the forum and email almost every day. Feel free to email me directly, My email is rhondapeer@yahoo.com.
Best of luck to you!!!!! You'll do great!!!!

Wow Jamie! That's fantastic! Currently I'm doing an hour of walking 4 times a week and 2 hours of aqua aerobics 3 times a week. I recently had a fill so I'm finding it hard to eat more than 1000 calories, but it's working for me anyways. lol. But I'm getting heaps of nutrition. As for the weekly treat, I usually finish off something my fiancee can't eat, like a ham and cheese toasted sanwich. I'm one of those people who, if I don't work hard enough, I lose focus, so I have to develop a bit of an obsession. I just hope I can turn that obsession off when I've reached my goal - but there's 50 more kilos to go, so it won't be for a while anyways.
That's inspiration dude! When you've reached your ultimate goal weight are you still going to be dieting and exercising?
