Life after LapBand removal!

Hi, everyone!  Just wanted to let you know how I'm doing after having my lapband removed on July 9th.  Doing great!  Controlling my eating much better than I expected.  I like be in control under my own power instead of the band.  I'm down to 164.2 as of this am.  Still working out , but taking it a little easy since surgery.  Hope you all are doing WONDERFUL!  Be BLessed!

Andrea,

So glad you are doing good since band removal. I may have to have mine removed. I have been having issues with it still. I still have a lot to lose though

I"m so sorry to hear that you are having problems with your band.  The more I talk about having mine removed, the more people are coming out of the woodwork telling me of all the problems that they are having with their bands and many have had theirs removed too.  Hope everything works out for you.  Please keep in touch!

Hi Andrea,

I am glad to hear that you are doing so well and I believe that you now have the 'tools' you need to maintain your losses and all of the lifestyle and health gains that come with it. Please do stay in touch and let us know how you are doing. 

Warmly,

I got my band 2/25/08 and had it removed 6/26/10.   It was a horrible thing.  I was in the hospital 6 days.   I loved my band.  I would have never lost the weight without the band and now I'm scared to death of gaining it back.  I just have this fear that I will wake up one morning 50 pounds heavier.
