Anyone get banded at 190lbs?



Recommended Posts

@@mias76 I did get banded. How i feel about it still don't know. I weight 181-182 depending on the day.. Its been almost 2 months. I've been exercising and eating right, eating whatever i want is what got us in trouble in the first place. Taking it one day at a time I guess.. Hope you are doing better than me.

Hi. I got banded a little over 2 months and I'm at 180 although it's been a slow weightloss I'm really happy with it. Hang in there. I think for people who have less to loose the weightloss is slower

Got my band on Wed.. have had alot of pain. The doctor and clinic were amazing. The doctor also repaired a hernia. I keep having what feels like a spasms that start at my sternum and radiate through my chest.. Can't tell if I am hungry, in pain from surgery or ate too much. Is this common?

I was banded at 205lbs in April 17,2014. Most of my family thinks I'm crazy because I chose the band to loose 75lbs but none of them have had to deal with the weight fluctuations like I have! My insurance covered my surgery with a BMI of 36 because I have a weight related disease. I have lost 30lbs so far and don't regret my band at all. It's the weight loss pace I wanted and I'm glad it's working for me. I lost 90lbs 2 years ago but gained it al back during pregnancy. So more than anything I hope I can keep weight off with the band:)

I was banded on February 18 2014 weighing 196lbs today I'm at 172lbs my weight loss has been slow and still struggling to see if I'm really in the green zone....don't believe so. I have 5 cc in a 11 cc band. Just got to the 5 cc in June so dr. Is giving it time and I go back in sept. To see if I need a another fill. So overall I say it's hard and will probably be at a slower rate since ur starting bmi was lower. Good luck to you I hope you have success!!!

      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.

      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.
