Hi all. I had the lap band surgery in 2011. I lost 60 pounds and have not lost one pound in almost a year. I noticed this month that I'm up 5 pounds! I'm pretty freaked out. I just would like to talk about my general fears etc. Thanks! Megan

Hey Megan!

I'm only about an hour southeast of you in Powhatan. I was banded in 2007, lost 70 lbs, then gained some back after my 2nd son was born. I've kept 40 lbs off, & want to get back on track. Let me know if you're interested in e-mailing back and forth. I don't get up to Charlottesville too often, but having someone close by to encourage me would be great!

I would love to join the two of you. I am in Mineral, VA. I work in Richmond. I was banded in 2008, lost 70 pounds, gained 30 back after spine surgery and need to lose about 80 pounds at least. I am working at getting back on track and making an appointment with my bariatric surgeon to get my band filled.

I would also like to email some fellow Virginia bandsters. The extra support would be great!

Ok ladies, how are y'all doing this week? I've been kinda stressed at work, & the scale is showing it. I'm too embarrassed to go back to the nurse practitioner at St. Mary's (Jeannine @ Commonwealth Surgeons), & the nutritionist I was seeing at St. Francis was more interested in selling Vitamins. Gotta get back on track and focus! Would really appreciate your thoughts and prayers. :)

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
