Hello from Colorado



Recommended Posts

Hello, my name is Jaclyn and I'm fairly new to this website. I'm nineteen years old, living in Colorado. I got the lap-band surgery done two years ago and I've already lost 217 pounds, and still have more to lose. I would post pictures up, but I don't know how to, so if anyone would be interested in telling me how to do so, I'd be more than happy to show you all. Have a wonderful evening and God bless!

-Jaclyn

Oh yeah--here are the directions I got from a friend for posting my before and after (actually during).

Go to the bottom where you would hit the Reply button and there is one that says ADVANCED, click it. Once there you have to title the post for some reason, but just type in something, "pics" or something. Anyway after that, underneath the window where you normally type there are several options, one of them is MANAGE ATTACHMENTS, click it. At the top then you click BROWSE, find your pictures on your computer, click UPLOAD. Once that is done, close the box and click SEND at the bottom of the original reply box.

You can only post one picture at a time this way and have the picture show in the text itself, if you upload more than one at a time, it does like yours did in the prior post, and show them as attatchments you have to click to open.

Good Luck, there are some really computer savvy people on here, who can help you way more than I can!!!

Good Luck!

Hi Jaclyn,

I just wanted to welcome you to LBT and tell you how amazed I am at the accomplishment you have made with your band! You truly show that the band can and does work, you go girl!! And now that you have the instructions on how to post pictures, I can't wait to see them. Wow, what an inspiration you are.

Hi, yes, I'm from Grand Junction, Colorado. My surgeon doctor for the lap-band is in Canyon City though; his name is Dr. Brown.

My pictures should be linked on the bottom of this page, and I hope it works. Thanks!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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
