<p>Aloha All</p> <p>Thought I would never get to post this, but here I am 100 Lbs. post op. Was banded in July 2007, and what a difference 100 Lbs. can make. I can ride on airplanes without using my seat belt extender, even on the small planes. Can get a good nights sleep, without feeling like I'm going to choke to death. And did I mention how much better the sex is? Christmas Day was the best, decided it was time to get out the "Green Hornet" (my bike) and clean it up and see if I could still ride. Use to ride a lot 10 years ago (6000 miles a year) well after checking everything over it got on and rode around the hood and my DSW said that it would be cool if we could ride together, so got one of the old bike's out cleaned it up and off we went on a 5 five very easy all flat ground ride. It felt so good to be back on the "Green Hornet" and my wife had a great time also. Well I know I've gone on too long, just very excited about my new life, did I mention how much better the sex is? LOL Well Aloha and take care and good luck</p> <p>BWD</p> <p>PS I love my band, and did I mention how good the sex is?<img src="http://www.LapBandTalk.com/images/smilies/clap2.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Clap2" smilieid="217" class="inlineimg" /></p>

Wow! Congratulations Dave. I was banded end of July and hope to hit 100 pounds by end of January.

I can appreciate how good it must feel to have 100 pounds off because 90 pounds off feels pretty good too.

Congratulations.

Sue

Congrats Dave! I know that fresh Hawaiian air really helps too. Been to Kauai 3 years in a row and trust me, I know if I were 100lbs lighter when I was there I would have been a maniac!!!!

Aloha

Up every morning @ 4:30am in the gym by 5:00am. 45 min. on the Bike and then the weights. My DSW and I do this 5-6 days a week, we both have the band and that really helps. We really watch what we eat. Thats about it, good luck and best wishes.

Aloha

BWD

      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
