I've been a member for a little while now but never did my intro... I think this is the best site for lapband info. etc. there is on the web. Since I've joined the group I have met one person and introduced others to this group.

I was banded on August 6, 2003 by Dr. Sanchez in Monterrey Mexico. I have not had any fills yet :think, but in need of one!! I have lost 13lbs and I don't think any inches but I'm not giving up! I know once I get some restriction with a fill I will do much, much better.

Good Luck to all!

good to see you here - any weight loss before being filled is a bonus and 13lb is a pretty big bonus! you're doing great - when are you planning to get your fill? That will speed up your weight loss and get things moving!

Hi ! Thanks for the message! I have been waiting for my Doctor (PCP) to give me a fill, she will start doing them any week now (she's been trying to get the insurance and other stuff ready). I really believe I need one. She trained with the Doctor who performed my surgery so I'm excited about that, I'm just losing patience (instead of weight!). At any rate, I hope to have a fill within the next couple of weeks.

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

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
