Yes! Best decision ever made and allowed me to make changes to live healthier. It was a year yesterday and I am eternally grateful to have made the decision and continue to follow what I need to

Maybe wait until the controversy clears up to make a decision but honestly the Mayo Clinic sounds like holistic care. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/amphtml/national/health-science/they-went-to-mexico-for-surgery-they-came-back-with-a-deadly-superbug/2019/01/23/ac0ca280-1dcb-11e9-9145-3f74070bbdb9_story.html&ved=0ahUKEwjE-LDl7qrhAhWbHDQIHRxdDxcQyM8BCCYwAA&usg=AOvVaw2fCSaHNw_1EHV9eyz11jJo&ampcf=1 https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.sltrib.com/news/2019/01/26/after-going-mexico/&ved=0ahUKEwjE-LDl7qrhAhWbHDQIHRxdDxcQxfQBCDUwAw&usg=AOvVaw1p5ap_dRvSuOfJ9yHXGm2y

Right now, it's too early to know. Your stomach is still very swollen and that allows acid to reflux into the esophagus. This can take several months to resolve before they can determine if you have a real reflux problem.

I think ones motivations and expectations dictate so much of this. I did this solely to get healthier and improve how I physically felt. I did not expect rainbows and unicorns and for this to solve every problem or insecurity I’ve ever had. Even though I’m not to goal yet, I can honestly say mission accomplished. My health has improved drastically. I’m able to do things I wouldn’t normally have been able to or dared to do. Like many others, I only wish I had taken this step sooner.

I have survived week 1 of the pre OP diet and 1 week to go. I have lost 10 lbs but stalled the last 2 days. I was hoping to lose more weight and go into this with a bang. Still hoping! Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

And yes the docs in Mexico did amazing job I’m 4 weeks post op healed great no scarring and over 30 pounds down.

Dear DanaC84... I will check out Lose It... I already use MFP and My Net Diary and Baritastic but happy to add another... they all help to keep me on track and I’m petrified of screwing up! Self Sabotage is just a bite away! 🤪

Congrats!!!!!!!!

I’m 12 years post op lap-band, very successful until it slipped a few months ago. I’m having revision surgery lap-band to gastric bypass I’m very excited.

You sound like me! I thought I had wrote it. I'm going to be 6 yrs older than you on the 14th. and that's when I knew you could be a sister from another mother. I have no regrets so far. I wish I had done it years ago to really be enjoying it to the fullest now. Now it's not easy and you follow the rules closely because you loose the most weight in the beginning. We are all different here and hit things at different times. But we all get on the loosing bench and will be wearing our sexy dress out....even if it's just to the grocery store. Welcome!!!
