Lap Band surgery in 2 days



Recommended Posts

Good morning, all! I've been lurking for a couple of days, but wanted to introduce myself. My name is Alan Simmons. I'm 44 and about to be banded Wednesday. I've enjoyed reading the success stories on here and I love the way you guys support and encourage each other. I'm looking forward to getting to know you and joining you in this new lifestyle!

Welcome to the Forum, Alan. All the best to you in your surgery on Wed. Please keep us posted. This community has been very helpful to me. I am planning for surgery in October sometime.

I've had a ton of questions already, and still have more coming, and am lucky enough to have guys that answer them honestly. they have been a HUGE help.

Fire away!!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
