Starting the lapband and current pics

Well, I was banded on 2/19/10. Lost 35 lbs. Maintained until 11/10. Got first fill. Lost 6 lbs. Slow weight loss but it is staying off. Great staff at OCC!

It was great meeting with you and Joe. Hope you are doing well and wish u the best.

Banded 2/19/10. Dropped 35 lbs within 3.5 months and plateaued. Currently maintaining at 240lbs. Most of the dieting is mental at this point. The band just really serves as motivation to eat healthy. Unfortunately, I've reached this weight before thru Atkins, so I'm really hoping the band would help me get to a point that past diets failed to do. So...have I done myself a misjustice by not getting the first fill sooner? I'm getting the fill on 11/19 and was curious if I should have high hopes for a few more pounds of weight loss? Will delaying the first fill by 9 months cause any complications? Look forward to hearing from every one and good luck achieving your weight loss goals!

I had my surgery at OCC and would like to know the cost of getting round-trip transportation for me and my wife to the OCC, from Mexicoach, and having my first fill performed. Will it cost extra for transportation if I bring my wife? Thanks!

Post some pics!!! just kidding:) -
No fills and I have lost ~ 30 pounds since I was banded on 2/19. Feel great. I have noticed that I am very dis-oriented and clumsy. I think the quick weight loss has caused my muscle memory to get worse. In other words, I am using the same strength to move that I used when I was 30lbs heavier. Hope this doesn't sound odd. Just curious if anyone has experienced this? Not sure if I feel dizzy because I am moving quicker or not eating enough. My mood is great and I am able to run much easier.

Yo bogie...I live in the san fernando valley and I am off thurs thru sat and every other sat ( I work 12 hour shifts). If u want to get together for a 90 minute walk, let me know. We can shoot the shit...the time will fly by. I walk at balboa park near the sepulveda dam. Uu can google sepulveda dam for more info.

Hang in their bogie! U need to make a hard choice....do more or eat less. If u r leaning on the band as your gaurdian angel, then you would need to sleep 24/7. Do an honest and accurate assessment of the calories u expend daily and compare them to your daily calories consumed. Get someone else to record these values for u if necessary. Even if u r burning more calories then u r consuming, your weight loss will be very slow if u r only burning 200 more calories a day then u r consuming. Wish u the best!

Hi kim! Sounds like your doing ok after reading some of your posts. I lurk a lot, lol. I read emails and blogs, but don't say much. My mom hates it. I'm a classic nerd....I'm the guy who could design an email program like Outlook but I would never take the time to respond to my emails. Enjoying white wine now:)
