Is there anybody in here? *knock knock* Just wanted to see who all here has had weight loss surgery and what you're doing to lose weight and eat right and exercise, especially those who've had the Lap-Band.

I hope all is well with you, and I hope to hear from you all soon!

    I didnt have the band...I had bypass. I am mindful of what I am eating and I had been working out at least 3-4 days a week . I am not released yet for the gym from my doc because I just had my gall bladder out recently, but I am excited to go back soon..I actually miss it :)

    It looks like you're doing a bang-up job so far. :o) Keep up the awesome work!

    I was banded Nov 2011. So far I have lost almost 40 lb. Yes the weight loss is slow, but you don't get all the hanging skin you see with fast weight loss. I don't exercise.. my schedule sucks right now. If I exercised it would be faster. I do love being banded. I almost never have hunger pains, and can eat about a cup three times a day! So worth the investment.
