REVISION!!!
Oct 20, 2012
Its been a minute since I've been here but I guess you could say its from the embarassment of the lapband and the stories. I havent had any weight lost since about 2 years ago and though I have not sky rocketed back close to the 300 weight class, I am on my way up. I did some research on the VSG and will be getting revised next month, I tried to be positive with my band but this is not the system for me. Although I dont want to get cut on again I think this is going to be just what I needed. I miss eating fruits the most because I cant get them down with the band. No kind of meat that is dry or has hard edges because it will cause me to SLIM as the term I have come to find most use. I am so proud of you, who have been successful with the band but I cant do it anymore. I never had acid reflux until starting last month which is crazy! I have been working out still just to keep myself in routine but no results to go with it so i do it just so I amin the habit after I have my revision. I am nervous to see the damage this band has caused because pictures and stories I have heard is not the business. I thought that this system would help me but in the long run its actually more harm then good. I went to verticalsleevetalk.com and they have some good information if anybody is looking and thinking of changing. I wish everybody continued success in whatever they decide to do but Im doing whats best for me in the long run. Take care everybody and I will be here to post after my surgery...

IM BACK!!!
Apr 04, 2010
Hello all I am finally back I fell off the posting wagon but I am back on again. I know you probably want to know of the weight lost I am currently down to 243 pds from the 274 I started at. I know its not much to have had this surgery over a year now, but between working here in Iraq and extended stays without being able to see my doc I think I am doing well. I havent started back working out but I am on it again come Monday hopefully when I go back for a visit to the doc in May I will have a new number for pds LOST for you guys I want to be in th mid 230's or 220's. I think I have finally found the sweet spot when I got my last fill. It constantly reminds me if I am taking to big of a bite and when to say no so over all it is exactly where it needs to be as opposed to the other visits. I think I am at about 6 mil liters or 7 on a 10 militer band so I think that is really good. I am trying ladies I stayed in the gym last time and gained three pounds so i have to work extra hard and add in some weight training this time. Anyhow I just wanted to share a little bit being that it has been forever. I am so proud of all the ladies that I started this journey with and who are doing so well. You guys are my inspiration truley. Keep up the good fight and i will be sure to be in that bikin come next year summer....

Well I know it has been a minute, and I know that you guys have some stories to tell, well I have a story to tell myself. Anyhow I had my first fill after 4 months and I am happy to say that I am no longer 274 I am now 246.6 and steady losing slowly and healthy. I am really blessed and truly happy. I think I worked hard and used my tool not always to my advantage but did keep my eye on the prize. Lapband has made a huge impression on my life and my struggle with weight and I am so happy that i am moving along to a happier and healthier me. Well if you guys got any news hit me up and let me know how your doing, and if you have any questions about lapband hit me up. If I dont have the answer I will try to find it out for you.
Luv yall, B.
I just dont know??

. I had to put a belt on and I havent worn a belt since I was in high school so let say 11 years ago..lol.. However although my clothes are getting loose I cant tell if my body has changed that much . The scales in the weight room are broken so that was a big mess, cause i am compulsive when it comes to getting on a scale and know I'm losing. It was hard because I didnt know if I was losing I felt healthier but I couldnt see if my body shape change with how I felt. So I must admit I went about two weeks eating stuff that was a complete no, no
. I felt so bad about it and did it anyway how dumb is that????? I mean I was still working out but the eating went out the window. It even came to a point were I thought I had damaged my band and I still dont know if I have or havent but, I will be going for my first fill here in June and I will find out if I did any damage and if my weight loss is going good or not. I'm so nervous to get on a real scale. I mean when I was going for wls I got on the scale here and it was reading 291 pounds???? So I had the idea that I had completely let myself go and I was out of control but when I got to the doctors office i found out I was only 273
not saying that, that was good but it was better than 291... Anyhow I got off subject..sorry..lol... So we will see if all the work I have been doing has paid off or if I need to go back to the drawing board. I hope this wls works for me I am really trying but I see so many people getting RNY and was wondering if anybody could tell me about there experience and what its like etc. I mean I dont plan on taking out my band unless it just doesnt work at all and I am not successful with it. Anyhow I am still going to work this tool till the end. Well I'm getting off of here and just wanted to say hi and let you guys know whats up with me. Once I get home to TX I will take pictures and put up before and afters. I wish you well guys.Later, B.

then I asked him what for he said because he's always wanted to but he respected the fact that I had a relationship. I told him no I was okay but I have to admit I would have but for some reason I feel bad about even thinking about another man. I mean I feel like I havent mourned my old relationship is that crazy
. Should I even dwell on it since he was the one who said he didnt want to be with me? I mean I feel lost, and this guy to me is sincere for the most part he has been honest about his feelings towards me and just said what he feels and I respect him for that cause not many men are going to do that, but at the same time I am being cautious. He is god fearing, he has three class to go before he is finished with his degree in engineering (I KNOW I SPELLED THAT WRONG) He is Samon and very handsome wit a nice body not saying thats all I noticed but he is just a cool individual. I really dont want to push him away because of my old relationship but I feel guilty about talking or getting to know somebody new because my old relationship just ended. I need some advice and if you guys have any please share because I dont know what I should do?
!!! Thanks guys for any advice.LAter, B.

I had two cookies yesterday and was so mad at myself before and while I was eating them. I was dissappointed with myself and was thinking that doing this is going to keep me where I am. I went to step aerobics and kicked my own A** for those two cookies. About 5 minutes ago I decided to weigh myself not feeling at all encouraged because of what I did the day before. I went in there as long as I didnt gain then I can redeem myself and guess what??????????? Your girl lost another two pounds!!!!!. I have been 258 for three weeks regardless of how much I worked out that two pounds didnt want to crumble, but the scale today said 256 and I about feel over. " I am the master living here free from doubt free from fear" It has been a long time coming and I cant believe it, it just really feels worth while. I know its only two pounds but I will never have to worry about those two every again and its more than gratifying to know all the work I am putting into this is paying off. It may not come when you want it to but it surely came on time for me today. I am overjoyed and wanted to share.LAter, B.

You know I was kinda mad about that last post of mines...lol... but I was like hell what am I gone do bar-b-QUE ( ROO BRUHS)..lol.. or mildew... So I was like I'm going to get my behind on some piece of equipment so I got on the treadmill for 40 minutes. MANNNNNN I havent ran in soooooooooo long
boy and my legs told on me..lol... they were so heavy
so as you could guess the running didnt last long but I did get 40 minutes in to make me feel better. Working out is a big change cause usually it would be something to eat... I cant wait to get my next fill so i can get this show on the road. I really wanted to be around 220 when I got home but it doesnt look to promising. However when I go back on my next vacation maybe in September or November its gonna be a wrap cause your girl is gone be on it and doin it big. Aight then let me get on just wanted to come let yall know what was on my mind.
