I'm moved by everyone here...I want what you all have succeeded at...I want to be part of this "club"...I want my hundred pounds. I was banded 1/18/2007 and still haven't reached my hundred lost. I'm now coming to all of you asking for your help, your encouragement, your motivation...anything you all are willing to give me.

I have. I've lost 110 pounds in 2 1/2 years. I have 15 more pounds to lose to reach the goal my surgeon and I agreed on, but I now need a knee replacement and think I will go beyond that to make my rehab easier. I will never be thin by insurance chart standards, but I am on one hypertension medication, down from four, and just had bloodwork done yesterday and passed with flying colors in all categories. I've dropped seven sizes and, with the exception of the bum knee, feel great. It is entirely possible to lose this much weight--and more.

I was banded 5/2008. My last fill was March 2009. Slow and steady weight loss the whole time. I lost the first 65 without exercising. Started working out July 2009.

I absolutely believe the lap band was a good idea. No regrets. It was hard at first, I admit, but definitely a good decision.

I did it! 112 lbs so far, and I guess I'm finally at that "sweet" spot.

First 6 months - 50 lbs,

2nd 6 mos - 20 lbs,

3rd 6 mos - 20 lbs

In the past 3 months - 22 lbs.

It feels like I'm losing so fast right now that I can't keep myself in clothes!

Hi, I hit 100 # about 15 months after being banded.:( I am now 17 months since surgery. Loss is slow and sporadic but health issues have slowed down my progress. My NSVs keep me going; my measurements (and clothing sizes) shrink in between weight losss):smile2:

      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
