I had lap band surgery 4.5 years ago. I'm hoping to revise to the sleeve. But in the past I was always hot. Probably since I've lost weight, I won't even think about wearing shorts unless it's more than 75 out. I am cold a lot. I still am hot in the summer, but I'm definitely colder than I used to be

Getting/Being pregnant after being Banded
Bandme1 replied to Adrienne86's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Oh man, that is so encouraging! I also have PCOS and one of the biggest reasons I want to have the band and lose weight is to help with my fertility issues. I will go forever without a period then I will have it for weeks and weeks. (my last period lasted 7 months. 7 MONTHS of bleeding...) It is encouraging to see that you are already starting to go back to normal! -
What are/were you looking forward to being able to do post-surgery?
Maloneymommy posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
This past weekend we went camping with some friends and we were on the lake with kayaks and paddle boards. I am looking forward to the moment post surgery when I don't wonder- what is the weight limit on this thing? I hope I don't look like an idiot.

Be comfortable! It seems like I am at a weight that it hurts to stand, sit or lay down let alone do anything else in life. I am looking forward to being comfortable again! -

I am at goal now and I have to encourage all of you that it is fantastic to meet theses goals! I still marvel sometimes as I sit in church with my legs crossed or almost burst into tears when I slip into a size 10 anything! My deciding point was in the Spring of 2014 when I just could not handle walking around a park all day with my sons Boy Scout Troop...we were constantly on the move all day and it killed my legs, feet EVERYTHING! 7 months post surgery, I went Zip Lining with them and it was the most empowering moment in my life. I had avoided that trip the year before because of the weight limit, of course, and it was so awesome! Hang in there and you will be able to do all of those things you want to do. -

The Biggest Loser Effect
luv2golfnow replied to Jean McMillan's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Magazine
I know of someone on there and many things of HOW they lose so quickly is not televised and frankly not realistic. Used to envy the contestants but the practices are not conducive to every day life and many gain a good portion back! Slow and steady is always best. -
Help! Weight gain after NUT!
destiny_77 replied to jss1988's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Don't worry, I won't, lol! My circle is small too. Only my husband and kids know and I just told my mom 2 days ago. I plan on coming out with it to anyone who asks (cause I'm sure folks are bound to ask when I start dropping the weight) but only when I have to. I just don't want any negativity right now -
I am a little bit nervous about the weight I gained after Thanksgiving holiday. I had my last weigh in on 11-19 and did not get approval until 12-11. I called the surgeons office and a rude receptionist told me that my surgeon was booked for the rest of the year. Well, I gained weight after my last real Thanksgiving and have not been able to get any of it off. My surgeon's office called me today to schedule my consultation for 12-17 and I am nervous about how the surgeon will feel about the weight gain. My insurance Anthem does not require weight loss for the surgery. I am freaking out! Should I really be worried about this since I have not yet started my pre op diet? Btw, my surgery is on 12-28.

The Biggest Loser Effect
scarlet333 replied to Jean McMillan's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Magazine
I agree The Biggest Loser is TV not reality. They are working out 6 hours a day with the best trainers in the world and do not have the distractions of a job, kids, husband, house cleaning, etc. But I like to see the last chance workouts with everybody moaning and groaning and sweating. I would DVR the show each week and get on my elliptical and workout while watching it pushed me at the same time Bob or Jillian were pushing the others. One of the posters above talked about how hard it is to start a workout routine. It can be but don't assume you have to get up at the crack of dawn and go to the gym. I actually do not like gyms at all. I started by walking outside (now jogging 3-4 miles, 3x per week). I also have dvds that challenge you with hand weights I mix it up and do a different one 1-2 times per week. There are also so many free on demand workouts on cable tv. Make it easy for yourself to start. -
Hello everyone! I am currently doing my liquid diet ( it's so hard!) And have surgery on Friday August 7th. I have some concerns because I am an athelete. I do jiu-jitsu and boxing and I'm worried that such low caloric intake will reduce my energy levels drastically and my muscles. I'm concerned I won't be strong. I currently weigh 200lbs. And the reason I am doing this is because even though I am always working out and have been for about 4 years now, I still have the hardest time losing weight. If I do happen to lose a couple of pounds I can't keep them off. And my weight has gotten in the way of my sports. For example I can't compete in boxing because there aren't very many girls out there in the same weight category. Same goes for jiu-jitsu. If I lose about 45 lbs I will be able to do all those things. And we'll thats not the only reason. I 22 and being overweight feels like a burden, it's harder to socialize with people, make friends, date, and I always feel self-conscious. I guess I'm posting cause I need some support and have doubts!

Okay, first thing, the reason I said cancel is because I am looking at radiation treatments for cancer after my lapband. By that time, school will be ready to begin again. I've decided that my bit of "cheating" was not extreme. I've had mostly some chunks of vegetables or chicken out of my soup broth that I did not strain thoroughly. Surely that can't be fatty enough to make a big difference in my liver. I've made a big weight loss during the past 2 weeks and otherwise been very faithful to the diet. I asked my doctor's nurse last week if I could have minestrone soup when we went out for my husband's 50th birthday.

Wow--I can see that you're happy to have your Pacemaker after that experience--how scary!! It was just such a surprise because I don't feel the changes in rhythm. Occasionally I feel that my heart is racing a bit, so I wasn't surprised by that, but I had no idea about the slow times. And I've been unhappy about being on a blood thinner, so I thought maybe the pacemaker would take care of that, but the doc told me yesterday that the pacemaker will not affect when it's too fast--just speed it up when it's too slow. So he can give me stronger meds to slow it down! I'll get used to the idea, just having a hard time with it right now. Since I didn't think I had any health problems other than my weight, I just thought the VSG would have me feeling great and super healthy!

if I lose weight during the six-month period and fall below my BMI will my surgery be approved
Rolla6 replied to taweedeegirl's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
If I go under 35 my insurance will not approve me. They don't care if I stay the same or gain slightly, but I cannot go under. I have a BMI of 37 with comorbidities. I would totally check with your insurance. -
I had my first fill and am still hungry
Dolfan13 posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had my first fill on Thursday the 20th and am very hungry in fact Im more hungry than before the fill. I have been looking for food all day Friday through Sunday. I cannot go back and see me Doctor till after the new year. I was wondering if anyone has had the same problem as me and if this is normal. I have lost 15 pds and do not want to gain any back. I also want to know what is a good average to lose since surgery. I was banded on November 14th. Thanks for anyones insight. Have a Happy Holiday. -
So glad I found this site, my journey so far
deaddemmama replied to marymcg62's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I think mild excercise might help....I was in constant pain and taking some time to do water aerobics in the therapy pool at our Y helps. Doesn't help my insomnia though.I need to exercise to lose weight anyway and swimming and walking helps. -
So glad I found this site, my journey so far
marymcg62 posted a topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
This is the first time I'm posting on this site , so I'd like to tell my weight loss journey up to now. I had my gastric bypass surgery on 1/29/2013. Doctors told me it was a textbook surgery , no complacations& I was home in 5 days. Once I was home I had a hard time keeping anything down, after a few calls& some trial & error we found out that I can't tolerate the vitimans. Once I stopped them things were going better. My first weigh in was 3wks post op& I lost 30 lbs ( sorry my weight the of surgery was 386). I weighed myself 2days ago & I now weigh 298! I can't even remember the last time I was this weight. I have chronic RA&Fibromyalgia, so I have these problems to deal with,along with the weight thing,but I have a hard time getting my family to understand,that sometimes I just can't get up &go & do everything they want, for instance my granddaughters birthday party I ended up missing , cause I was vomiting,so much that day I just couldn't get there, I felt so terrible,but my son is still mad at me& won't let me see the girls. Anyway I digress, does anyone else have some similar problems? I'd love to hear you. Sorry this is long & rambling,but I'm writing this at 3am , I have no one to talk to. Thanks for listening. -

100 Pounds Down!-"Normal" BMI- Almost at Goal!
newxina replied to AvaFern's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
@@AvaFern I have 71 pounds to lose until I hit the "normal" weight. But my personal goal is 90 or maybe 100 (but that's pushing it). I have lost only 10 pounds pre-op but I hope that I will be as successful as you with the surgery. Congratulations on your accomplishments! I hope you reach your final goal soon! ???? -
