I am so happy for you! I know just how you feel. For different reasons, I started my journey October 08 and just got banded April 7, 2010. I love my band and have lost a total of 37 pounds - 14 of it since surgery. You will love it!

Congrats!

:smile2: I had to wait this long because my insurance needed Doctor Marley to have his Center of Excellance or they would not cover me. And he finally got it so I have all my doctors visits in for 6 months and I have seen one doctor required, and I have 2 more to do and I am ready.

Did you lose any weight while you were waiting? You probably could have lost a good deal of weight during the year and a half you were waiting with frequent visits with your doctor and a nutritionist. I lost 5 pounds on my own before my pre-op diet. Though, it is easier to lose weight with the band than without out it...

yes I did lose 30 pds with the doctor, but I have done that before and next thing you know it has crept back on. :smile2:

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

      Lost my Pup last month and struggled really hard for that first month. Stopped tracking intake and slid into old habits here and there. Also quit working out. Can't walk in the neighborhood because of all of the memories we shared. Losing my Pup is the most heartbreaking thing I've ever been through. My Pup was my world 💔
      Talked to my doc during my one year followup and they were not worried about my current status. They know, and I know, that I will get back on track.
