Down 106 lbs



Recommended Posts

HI,

My lap band surgery was Jan. 2005. By the end of 2006, I had gone from 256 lbs. to 150. I have had some of my own trials and tribulations but have seem to have finally come up with a diet that allows me to feel good and not feel as though I am missing out on anything. Personally I am trying to get to about 140 purely for vanity. I'm into a size 6 which I still can't believe. Its the best when clothing fits season to season. I have spoken at different classes to help others get on track and stay motivated. If I can help, I would love to help.

Pat, Great work on your beginning! You must be following the diet very well. If you end up trying something that doesnt agree with you at first look at the situation you were in while eating. Stress at work, home, kids, etc. seem to make a difference. People tend to eat faster under stress. Congratulations on starting the healthy phase of your life.

I'm interested in your philosophy. From what you said I thought maybe you are one of those who prefers to eat a little more and maybe have your band a little loose. Is that the case? I am new at this but so far I feel that if I am losing weight I will wait on the fills. No use being tight and risking having problems when I can lose weight a little slower and feel more satisfied with the amount I eat.

I love to hear success stories. I wish I had one to share about myself...but I still have hope and know one day I will succeed.

My surgery date was November 2005 and my total loss is 35 lbs. I would love to hear your plan and how you've been so successful.

      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. 🤞

      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.
