Im doing good.. been at a plateau for about the last 11 months.. but we had a relocation and with three kids and settling into a new place.. I honestly just was happy to be maintaining while we went through that life change. So now Im in a new place starting new with a new Dr. (hoping he is a good one..) and ready to get off the last bit that I have to go. Glad to see everyone else doing well.

I had my surgery in November 2009 but nobody has wrote in our area for awhile so I thought Id join u guys if thats ok. It looks like all of you have done so good just wanted to tell ya congrats on the weightloss.

Soon2b2little 149 pounds Omg give yourself a pat on the back from me way to go!!!

Lapband gal 111 pounds if i subtrated right may have had a blonde moment and messed up if so I apoligize. You have done so good girl give yourself a hug from one lapband girl to another awsome job!

cheryldee 90 ponds that great too! Hey u may have been at a plateau for eleven months but you have been through a lot in time.Maintaing in my book is just as good as lossing. I too have went through a lot in the last year. Had surgery awhile ago and had complications. I had to have surgery again in Jan2 and ever since I've been having homehealth come everyday. I had to wear a wound vacumm machine for five months and still have a open wound that should close within the next week hopfully. I have had maybe 1 to 2cc maybe in my band for one two months in the last year. I am scheduled for a new band to be put in next Tuesday. During one of my surgeries my band slipped so they are taking it out and petting a new one in. I can't wait to get my buddy back oh how i miss him. Its so hard to do this on my own. I was going to zumba everyday and walking 3 -4 miles everyday losing so good. I haven't lost in forever but have only gained 4 pounds in the last year. I say WOOT WOOT!! The four pounds I am determined to have off by my surgery date. So I am going to calorie count starting today. I want that off so when my bands put it I can start a new begining moving forward. i'm hoping that kickstarts my weightloss. So I total understand what u have been going through the last 11 months.

dracon creature. COme on girl u can do it! U have all of us to support you while u move forward. Keep your head held high Girly!! Have a nice day guys!!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
