I had my Lap Band surgery on February 2nd.
I'm feeling great,no pain and I've lost 14 lbs since the pre-op diet.0 -
I had lap band surgery Feb. 2009 and lost about 70 pounds. Then I went away, had a complication and had to have the fluid removed, during which time I gained 12 pounds. This was a drag, considering I already had more weight to lose. So now I have to lose about 25 pounds and really need some support. Friend me!0

make sure you make your food diary available for others to read, that is what I find the most helpful, I compare how i am doing to others and get great food ideas. thanks everybody and "band on"!!0

I had lap band surgery on January 16th, 2012 and have lost 23 lbs and 12 inches. Would love to see how the rest of you eat - because a lot of days I feel that I'm eating more than I'm supposed too.0

Hi there,
I was banded in October 2010, and have removed 154 pounds (70kg) from my body since then. I have found it to be absolutely a life changing experience, in more ways than one. I have changed physically and mentally, had my partner of 6 years walk out on me, and have gone on to find the most wonderful new partner.
I still have another 15-20kg to go, and have stalled out a bit at the start of this year, which is why i have joined MFP, and am using Noom on my phone.0 -
Hi! I was banded 3-12-12 and I have lost 34 pounds. Doing great and feel good. I have had two fills so far and my surgeon is really happy with my progress. Just tonight I had my first stuck spell with steak-which I have eaten successfully in the recent past.. All new friends are welcome : )0

Prettee2B - I was banded 2/11/2011 and have lost 131 pounds. It's hard work. The band is not a magic bullet. You still have to put in the work, but I am sure you know that. My Doc/Nut have me on a low carb/high protein diet. A normal day should be 60+ grams of protein and less than 50 net carbs. Most days I strive for 100+ protein. I typically consume about 1300 cals/day. Up until my hysterectomy in Feb 2013 I was consistently losting 1.5-2 pounds per week. Then the big H hit and my hormones have been all over the place. Today for the first time in 3 months I have posted a loss. I still am not back to the 249 I was before the surgery but am only about 4 pounds away. By the way, I started at 380 pounds the day I went to the seminar. The day of surgery I was 264. I would do it all over again if given the chance. Good luck.0
