Holy smokes, Canadian, I saw on the other thread that you've lost 110 lbs. Congratulations and well done! How much to your goal now?

I'm from the west coast, got banded in Mexico about 3 months ago, lost 50 lbs total but nothing this week and still looking for my sweet spot. I guess I've lost enough that I have almost no restriction at the moment, so I'm back for a fill next week.

And yes, I'm happy about the band.

Hey!

Glad you made it over here!

I think you should start your very own thread too :grouphug:

I was banded by Dr. Cobourn, just over 6 months ago. As you can see (from my ticker), I'm at 68lbs gone so far... and 70-something to go. That's not for sure, cause I don't know what weight I really would be happy at, cause I've never been anything less than 200+ lbs.

I am also very happy with my decision. Everythings gone pretty smoothly so far, and even the times that haven't been so great, were still worth it.

What about you?!

I was banded at the Toronto Lap Band Centre on Sept 7 of this year. I am losing weight but I can't tell you how much because I don't have a scale.< /p>

Hi guys, hope you're all having a good weekend so far!

I just had to share a little bit of excitement that happened yesterday.

Dan and I went to Walmart after work, cause he wanted to look for some DVD. I wandered off to the clothes section, and grabbed a pair of dress pants, in an experimental size.... and went to try them on, just for the hell of it. Well.... they fit. And what size were they?

*drumroll*

an 18 !!! :omg:

I didn't buy them, of course.... or any pants. I SHOULD, cause I neeeeed some, but I'm holding out. I'm still wearing some that are 26's, 24's and my most recent purchase, the 22's.

Funny thing, as we were walking into Walmart, and I was hiking up my pant for the millionth time that day, I said "UGGGG.... I hate my clothes". And Dan said "Why?" ... and I caught my self saying (with a sigh) "All my pants are too big". I had to laugh (and so did he), cause that's NEVER been a problem before. Who am I to complain? :) I'd rather have my pants falling down more and more every day, than them getting tighter and tighter.

Also... I have ONE belt. It's a crappy belt, it came with some jeans I bought long ago. But it's my one and only belt, and it's been getting alot more use. When I first got it, I had to wear it on the last, or 2nd last notch. (those have a LOT of wear, all stretched out and torn) Then at one point I lost some weight, and was so excited, I made a mark on it cause I could wear it at the 3rd notch, and I wanted to 'mark the occasion'. NOW... I'm on the very last (of 6) notches!!! Woo!

      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.
