Lap Band Buddy Under 40



Recommended Posts

I was wondering....

IF you send message and not just an update then no one else can see that. And when you make a comment on someone else's post just make sure it's not in regards to your lb because your friends will get notified that you made a comment and they could click to go see what you said.

I don't know if there is a way to turn off this type of notification though.

Thank you!

Hi I am due to this forum. I'm 48 years old and I am trying to get LapBandTalk with plication. I see are in by your name so I'm assuming that you are a nurse. I too am a nurse. How long did you have to take off after the surgery

I am very pleased. My surgeon told me that plication will not only decrease the chances of slips, but also accelerates the weightloss as well as adds greater percentage of excess weight loss. My surgeon also took a picture of my band and completed plication to give to my family waiting for me to come out of recovery.

I'm glad you're doing we'll and that you feel young, but I disagree, age is not only a number. I made this post bc I wanted to speak to people in my age group, not a parental figure. People closer to my age like to share and listen rather than just tell people what they should think, feel, and do. I don't think you're old in any way, but the way I relate to people is MUCH different than you.

Age smage lol.. Does it matter when we are all going through the same thing? I need some buddies on NGO to so pls add me. A question about it... Can anyone else see the conversations you have with other people on there? Like I'm not telling many people I am having wls so if somebody who doesn't know adds me' date=' can they see my conversations with others who have had wls?[/quote']

      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
