    Welcome! There is a group out there for folks who have undergone lap band surgery (just search for lap band under groups and you should find it). Joining different groups has really inspired me. Good luck on your weightloss journey.

    I had my band fitted last July and have lost 128lbs taking me to my target in less than ten months. I have always tracked my food and protein intake and that's what's worked for me. I don't have full restriction for a good two weeks per month, but the other two weeks, I do. Funny old world, this band malarkey. It takes time, but once you recognise what barriers you will come across and how to deal with them effectively, I hope everyone grows to love their band as much as I do. Liberating!! :)
