Recommended Posts

Hey! I'm looking for a lapband buddy to help me through this journey I'm about to take on...I'm starting my liver shrink diet in the am(not really excited about that:sad:). I have a bunch of questions and want someone that I can talk to through good times and bad! It can be someone new to this journey or someone who is now a pro at it:thumbup:. Hope to hear from you!!

Hey all, had my surgery yest and it went great so far...hehe! I'm so excited about this new journey in my life. Still sore and taking Percocet for the pain. I have 5 incisions and the biggest one is the one giving me trouble(duh). I am a little hungry though. Feel like i'm half full but could eat some more...does that make sense? Love to all on here!!!!

Hey Sandy. My email on here is all messed up. Email me so I can get ur email address so we can keep in touch. Have had a rough 1st week but I guess that's to be expected. Not loving Marlee(that's my bands name). Ya know like the dog..hated him at first but loved him in the end. I hope that is how I feel later on. I can eat anything, No problems there. I just feel horrible. Sorry to vent just digusted at the moment. ttyl

      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.
