Thanks for the replies! I really would like to do this, I think that it will help kickstart some weightloss. I have been stuck around 200 for some time now.

Good luck with everything!!!!!!

just google adventure fitness boot camp and they have locations all over the country. They are pretty reasonable also.

Will going to fitness bootcamp hurt my lapband. I am concerned about the situps mostly. My band slipped once before and I had to replace it. I do not want to go through that again but I really would like to join this program. Any thoughts?

Thanks for all of your support. It just makes me nervous alot. I will be glad to go back to TJ in a week or so to have a fill and have them look at it.Good Luck to all of you!

So when the band slipped, could they not go back in and replace it right away, before you regained the weight you lost?

Was it your choice to have it removed? Do you know what caused it to slip?

Sorry to be so inquisitive...I am excited but also concerned as well...my surgery date is June 10th.

Thanks for your quick reply. Cathy

I got sick during the summer and I was given medicine that made me vomit. By the time I figured out that there was a problem, the slippage was too much to fix. The doctor said that this was rare and I had to wait 6 months to heal. You should not be too concerned. The Lapband is the best thing that has happened to me. It is a tool that works for my lifestyle and eating issues. I am sure that you will do fine. I am just nervous.

Hi there,

I haven't been banded yet, but what happen to your origina band? Did it slip?

Cathy

Yes it did. I did not have a problem for about six months and I lost 63 pounds. I was VERY HAPPY with my band. It broke my heart to have it out. I regained 55 pounds and have been rebanded. I do not think that I will have more complications but I am just really nervous.

IS ANYONE ELSE OUT THERE THAT HAS BEEN REBANDED? I WAS REBANDED 04-01-08 AND AM VERY NERVOUS ABOUT SLIPPAGE. I HAVE NOT HAD ANY "BAD" EATING EXPERIENCES BUT I LIVE IN CONSTANT FEAR OF ANOTHER PROBLEM. I WAS JUST WONDERING IF ANYONE ELSE WAS GOING THRU THIS ALSO. :unsure

Wow- everyone is down south. I'm about 25 miles south of Daytona Beach. Yes that is me on the 13th so I'll see you then. I was just down in the Ft. Myers area for work a few weeks ago, I end up all over the place so next time I'll have to get in touch before. It would be nice to have a break before the drive back. It's about 4 hours.

I am a little late into this conversation but I am from Enterprise, Florida. I was banded on 11-17-06. I believe that I am ready for a fill soon. Is everyone going back to TJ for a fill or is there somewhere in Florida that any of you know of?

Terri,

How is your port site doing? I am having some issues now. I can feel my port just under my skin. I have emailed for assistance but am a little nervous. I don't want to do anything wrong. How is your post op diet? It doesn't seem so bad to me but we still have a ways to go. I hope that all is well and hope to talk to you soon.

Hi everyone, I am struggling so much with the pre op diet. I have hung in there for 10 days and blew it today. I ate pizza. I am so mad at myself. I am disappointed in my wieght loss. I am not going to hit the 5% and the pizza did not help the issue. I needed to loose 13 lounds and have three days left to drop 5 pounds. On top of that life is busy and stressful. I hope this is the right decision. What does it say if I can't even follow through with two weeks of direction. Sorry to vent- just really disappointed in myself.

Terri

Terri-

I know it's tough but don't give up. Only a couple of more days and we will be in TJ. I met a lady last week that has a lapband and she has lost 108 pounds. It really gave me hope. I am sorry that I haven't emailed I have been out of town for a few weeks. See you in 3 days!

Where are you traveling from? I did great with the shakes yesterday but ended up eating dinner and then today I could not get that slim fast shake down to save my life. Boy those things are terrible. I tried the powder and the precanned. Both still terrible. I am in big trouble on Sunday when I have no choice but to drink them. I know I can do this !!! I am with you. I am tired of being fat. FAT NO MORE- We deserve it.

Terri

I am coming from the Orlando area.Where are you located? Dr. Miranda just emailed me the preop diet so I guess that it is time to get down to it. I am really excited and I cannot wait to get banded! A friend of mine had to have gastric bypass surgery for a medical condition and she says that it is really not that difficult to adapt. I just keep telling myself that skinny will taste better than anything that I put in my mouth! 14 days and counting!

Hi all, I am having surgery on Nov 17th and seem to be eating everything in site and eating only out. I am not sure what is going on. Maybe food seperation anxiety I really think I should start with the shakes at least once a day now so it is not so hard one week out.

Terri

I am scheduled for the 17th also. I am on the same page as you. I am eating everything in sight . I'm glad that I'm not alone and the book says that it is normal. I gave myself 2 more days and then I have to stopeating! The shakes once a day are a good idea.
