I was banded 02/18/08 weighing in @ 236. As on today I finally weighed in @ 190. I have had three fills so far. I'm hoping to be @175 or below by my wedding anniversary on 11/03. The only thing that is interesting is how the body responds to the band. I would like to hear from some of you as far as the shape the your body now. My complaint is "my muffin top" it is slowly going away though.Please chime in, would love to hear from you all.......

CONTINUED SUCCESS TO EVERYONE WHO HAS DECIDED TO TAKE THE JOURNEY IN LAP BAND LAND.:laugh:

Way to go! That was a quick loss! I do a lot of "core strengthening" exercises (pilates type) to take care of the muffin top, but I think the main thing is time for your body to respond and react to the loss.

Congrats on ONEderland! I am also hating the muffin. I keep thinking about plastic surgery but I think I will give it some time. Hopefully when we are both at our goal weights muffin top won't be an issue.

You go girl. Congrats on the rapid weight loss!!

I just made it to wonderland about two weeks ago. Boy it sure feels good. I'm a little puzzled about how I'm losing weight though, so I don't know if it will help. In times past, when I lost weight, I lost it in my tummy and my boobs first. Everywhere else was a fight. This time around with the band, I'm losing in my legs, my hips and butt and my arms. I've had some loss in my tummy and boobs. It's the darndest thing and I can't figure it out. Not that I'm complaining, it's just different for me. I'm losing in a more proportioned manner. I'm starting to think that the type of exercise I'm doing is responsible. I'm ONLY doing Water aerobics. Different kinds each time, but all in the Water. I have arthritis and don't have much of a choice. I'm sold on it.

      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
