I'm happy to see so many people have lost 100 pounds or more. I am 140 over my "ideal" weight. I knew naysayers would come out of their holes and try to beat me down and sure enough it happened today. My sis-in-law said that she has looked into lapband surgery and "every doctor" that she has spoken to says it is not as effective with people that have more than 70 pounds to lose. What the.....???? :cry

i smell bs. I would call her up and ask her who she's talked to about it. My thinking is she just grabbed this out of the air. Or maybe she talked to one doctor..and now it's turned into "doctors". This is pretty common thing for people to do. My surgeon wouldn't even work on anyone unless they had at least 100 pounds to loose.

That is so awesome! Congratulations to all of you one your weight loss! I have about 28 pounds to go before I hit one hundred, and I can't wait. I was scared at first about being able to lose all the weight I needed to. My doctor even told me that I should have really considered the bypass with how much I have to loose. I was so mad because two years before that he was completely against the bypass. I am just thankful I have the band it was the best choice for me and I just wanted to tell you girls Congratulations. I know we will all see goal!

You'll be what you think you'll be. So if you want to be slim, then think it, say it, write it down. You'll be slim one day.

Thankyou, thankyouverymuch~!

It took me 16 months and I have only 4 more to go.

Quite literally, this has been a weight off my back. Everything is easier, exercising, getting up, walking, living.....I just am exstatic.

To anyone that has doubts that the lapband works wonders for people that have lots of weight to lose....let me proudly update my to-date weight loss....261 pounds! That's right, I've LOST 261 pounds in 2 1/2 years. It not only works, it saves lives!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
