Hi everyone,

I am 29 and live in the Coastal Georgia Area. I began my lapband process in August/September 2008. I was finally approved for surgery on January 7, 2009 and I had lapband on February 6, 2009.

My doctor was Dr. John Angstadt from the Memorial Bariatric Group.

I started my weight loss journey at 258 and I am currently down to 214. I have a mini goal of breaking the 200 lb. mark by March 6, 2009 which is my 30th birthday. If this happens, it will have been the smallest I have been since I was in high school:thumbup:

I am still on the liquid diet which is killing me. I am hungry and the liquids do not seem to fill me up. I have read most of the post and will continue to fight with this until I see my nutritionist and doctor on the 23.

I hope to hear from everyone learn more about everyone's experiences!

      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.
