Cblancha9,

Good luck with your surgery. At our age you'll need to exercise daily, but it works. Please keep me posted.

I have been banded for 10 mo. and I've lost 100 lbs. I am now at 170 lbs. and I think I'm going to try for 11 more lbs. to be at 159 lbs. It's been an amazing journey. I wish I had found this forum a long time ago.;)

Hi everyone! It's been a while since I posted but I'm back now. To update anyone that might be interested.....I had my lap band surgery 2 years ago as of April 29th and to date, I've lost 231 pounds! I still have about 75 pounds to go, but there's no doubt in my mind, I'll do it. My band has been a miracle band as I've only had 3 fills in 2 years. So any one that says you can't lose that much weight with the lap band, that's a load of bull! I feel like a different person and quite frankly look like one, too. My band literally saved my life and I'll be forever grateful to everyone on here that has given me nothing but support. Hope everyone is doing well and I hope to talk to some of y'all soon. Becky

I posted and then noticed it had my old ticker on it, well I'll have to correct that with a quickness. Now if I can only remember how to do that!:help:

Hey this is awesome!! I haven't even lost 10 lbs yet but I hope it works as well for me as it has for the rest of you. I get my first fill tomorrow! Any of you who have any advice for a newbie, please PM me!! I need all of the encouragement and support I can get. I just keep thinking "I hope this works" surgery seems so drastic and now that I have had it done, I worry if it will be like every diet I have tried my whole life and failed at. I was banded April 9th 07 in Kansas City Ks. To the 100lb losers, I'm not worthy I'm not worthy! But I hope it happens to me. You guys are incredible and remember! Any tips, food tips, exercise tips or any little thing that helped you succeed, Send me a PM.

Katie

Hi ya'll. I reached the grand milestone of -100 lbs. last week. I had my surgery on September 5 of last year, so I'm just 8 months out. I'm 6 lbs. from my initial goal (may re-evaluate at that point), and couldn't be happier. I'm down from a size 26W jeans to size 12. I am off of 3 blood pressure-related prescription meds. My plantar fasciitis is completely gone. Knee pain gone. My flexibility, stamina, and strength are up, up, up.

      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.

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