That's incredible!! Great job :)

I've been banded for 4.5 months and at a stall of 45 lbs lost. I'm happy with the progress but frustrated at the same time. You're an inspiration to keep pushing for my goal!!

I haven't been on here for a long time dealing with complications from my surgery no fault of the band but my own body and health issues that were unknown until post op complications arose. I was on the lap band talk site and apparently that doesn't exist any longer. I came across this site and assume it replaced the original lap band forum. As I said ice had excessive weight loss in a short period of time. Love the change in every way. I did have blood clots in my lungs and legs and nearly died multiple times have been in and out of ICU for 10mths now. Will be on tons of life sustaining meds for life due to the blood clots but as I said the band is great and I wouldn't change a thing. I keep losing weight I think my body will stop when it's ready. I'm embracing every change and enjoying shopping in the medium section instead of 2 or 3xl. Don't doubt the band it does work. I've had NO fills. This is all me. I'm not hungry. I don't eat much but I'm ok with that. Success stories are really not fairytale they can be real life. I'm living proof!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
