I have lost 40lbs and I am 10 week post op. it's been a good feeling and I'm excited bout the journey ahead. My goal is 100lb to be healthy and maybe eventually hit 150lbs loss to be skinny. I have never been skinny so I'm being realistic bout it. However the sky's the limit.

Today was my 6 month bandiversary, and i'm down about 50 lbs.

But just because us posters are losing weight doesn't mean it's a GIVEN that everyone with a lapband loses weight. In fact, im working my butt off counting calories/measuring food/ working out 5x a week.

That said, the lapband can be a useful tool when used correctly

Good luck in your decision

I have lost 60lbs but its been a VERY slow process....but I still would like to lose another 20lbs! I would do it all over again but I wish I had done it in my early 30's instead of waiting so long!

I've lost 50 lbs in 10 months, I love how I am starting to look and how I feel, but it's being such a slow process that I have to confess sometimes I feel very discouraged

You're not alone there, I often feel discouraged esp when I hear stories of big losses... It's not easy at all or a miracle cure but its all about hanging in there and keep blodding alone... Def feeling a little lost lately but it will get better, I just know it... :)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
