Topic: RE: 8/23/04 Surgery Date
Hello,
I wanted to say hello from a lap bander sharing this date. I'm about 80 pounds down and would like to achieve another 100 in the next couple of years. It's good to hear the happy tales and success stories.
Be blessed!

Well I've lost 84 lbs now and am close enough to breaking the 200 mark that I can taste it. I've been on a plateau for about a month. But broke it big time this week. It would be nice to keep this momentum going.

Hi Denise, I am 9 months out and I do still have eating problems but I have traced the problems to eating to fast, to big of bites and some foods I just still can't eat. Rice, Pasta and soft breads still give me trouble and any of these reasons will cause me to throw up which I still do sometimes. I also have actually not stopped when I started feeling full and this leads to nausea. Check to see if you are spacing your meal out long enough my husband help me keep tabls on how fast I'm eating and if I feel like the last bite is sticking in my throat I know it is too fast. Other that that I feel great all medical problems as blood pressure, ashtma and water gain have gone and I have went from 250 to 167 and the doctor released me Tuesday. I have hit a slow down to about a pound every month or two so I have pretty much lost all I will lose but I feel great and went from size 26 to size 10 and 12 so keep looking to the finish. Dora

Hi Judy:
As long as you are still retaining water you will go up a little when the water is bad, if you don't want to take the pill due to it being blood pressure medication you may want to ask you doctor about Lasix or a similar water pill that deals only with the water. I had the same problem but as the weight goes down it will eventually go away at least mine did. I am nine months post op and went from 250 to 167 when I saw the doctor Tuesday even though I am still 17 pounds from goal weight per him he was so pleased with how well I have done health wise that he released me. I have lost from size 26 to some 10 mostly 12's. Keep a positive outlook it will get better.

Well congratulations!!! What a wonderful surprise. You'll have to keep us abreast about how things go. I want to start trying to get pregnant next year, so you'll have to inform us how it goes.
Congratulations on your weight loss and on your pregnancy!

Well, to date I had lost 89 lbs.. I had been working out 3 times a week with a personal trainer. The weight was coming off all over except the belly. Just recently found out that I am 8 weeks pregnant. So far I have gained 3 lbs. I hope to not gain over 20 lbs.
