What did you try b4 your lap band surgery to lose the weight ? I'm in the early stage of (thinking) of weight loss surgery kinda at a loss for words so manny ???? my bmi is 41.5 I'm 42 years old male and a smoker puts me at high risk ty for your time

[divataunia]

I didn't have lap band, I had RNY gastric bypass surgery. :) I tried pretty much everythign before surgery: weight watchers, jenny craig, curves, etc. I'd always lose a little bit, but could never keep it off. I do know that they require that you quit smoking in order to have the surgery. Hope that helps, and best wishes!

Thank you so much for sharing each step of your journey. Having a first-hand account of an WLS life clears away so much of the fear of the unknown. It also helps me, personally, to understand what my friend is going through and what she has to look forward to. Thank you for sharing the physical and emotional/mental sides of your journey. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Aww, thank you so much for this comment. I really appreciate the support and the kind words.  Also, I think it shows what a great friend you are to research and learn about what your friend is going through. We should all be lucky enough to have a friend like that! :)

OMG I SOOOO FELT LIKE THIS. i regretted it for LIKE 2-3MONTHS! I hated my life. You can tell your friend to look @ my early vids. Not sleeping well is normal to because of the pain... Eatting hurt. I slept in a chair sitting up.
