Welcome!

I was banded on 8/25 as well and I'm exhausted! My mom has had several surgeries and she says 6 months. UGH! Yes, that means February!

There is a gal in my support group that had bypass (it's a combo group) the month before and she says she is just now starting to feel like she's got some energy now. A gal I went through the whole process with and was bypassed the same day I got my band says she can't believe all the energy she has. I'm just wondering if it's different for all of us, just like the rest of the experience!

It doesn't help that I have a VERY active (mind, body and soul) 2 1/2 year old DD either!! I'm tired!! LOL!

I had my lapband surgery on October 21st and I've been wondering the same thing! When will I feel like I'm really doing good and get all this wonderful energy everyone talks about? I work out 4-5 times a week and work full-time and I'm just so tired all the time. I'm 3 months & one week out from my surgery and have only lost 30 lbs. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one feeling this way and losing slow because I was starting to think there's something wrong with me or that my band isn't working. I've had 2 fills and the doc wouldn't give me a third last time I went because I'd lost 8 lbs in a month. He said I can't come back for 3 months but I'm going back in 1 month and thinking about putting rolls of quarters in my pockets so he can't say I'm losing enough weight and refuse to give me another fill. lol
