I'm so glad to read this! I go see Dr. DiBenedetto tomorrow. I did a search and not much comes up. Thanks for posting

So much great info in this thread. Thanks so much for the in-depth answers. Congrats to you and your husband.

You were pretty before but you look amazing now. Enjoy the results of your hard work

You look amazing. You must feel like a totally different person. Would love to hear more

I was wondering how you were doing! Looks much better than what I had imagined. Pretty amazing really

I can't believe you're on your way home already! My first thought was 'oh no they didn't do it'! Glad it's over, now go home and take it easy

That's really encouraging, thanks for the update and congrats!

Can't wait to hear more. Hope all is going well

I'm excited for you! Best wishes

You look so good! You are glowing

Hope you can get out, even for a little while. Hope your pain goes away soon

My pcp is recommending him. Has anyone here used him? Looking for advice. Thanks!

Thanks so much and congrats on your success!

Through the search on this site, I have found 3 different groups/doctors in my area. The first is Bariatric/Comprehensive Weight Management through Kaleida Health Care at Buffalo General Hospital, with Dr. Posner and Dr. Hoffman. The second is Synergy Bariatrics with Dr. Caruana, and the third is Buffalo Minimally Invasive Weight Loss Surgical Solutions with Dr. Pham. I would love any and all opinions! Thanks!

Sounds like it went really well! Congrats

The fruit at the top of the tree is sweeter, as it's closer to the sun. Reach for the top! Thanks for a great post.

Good luck! Keeping my fingers crossed for you!

I’m trying a few things to see if I can get my weight down on my own. Not like I haven’t tried a thousand times before but whatever. I measure out my food in increments – 1/4 cup, 1/2 cup, 1 cup etc. I try and eat half of what I’m used too – 1 egg instead of 2 ( or 3), 1 soysage pattie instead of 2; 1 slice of toast or maybe none at all. I use tiny plates, bowls, forks, knives, and spoons. I set my fork down between every single bite, I chew everything at least 30 times, and I try and make sure my meal lasts at least half an hour. It’s all much harder than you would think! Yesterday I made a snack of 3 little peppers cut up and 2 tablespoons of hummus last an hour. Here’s my breakfast today, eaten at 10:30 but I was pretty busy this morning. I also had 2 cups of my favorite coffee. One egg, one Morningstar Farms maple soysage pattie. I didn’t eat the quarter. But I wanted too… It seems to be working. I’ve lost 3.6 lbs since I got home from Florida last Friday night, and I’m down 6.8 lbs since my all time high just a month ago. Sure this sounds good, but I still have so far to go. I know that this is basically how I’ll have to eat if I have the Lap Band surgery. But so far these changes seem to be working better than Weight Watchers ever did. Some weeks I would only lose 1/4 or 1/2 a pound. Ridiculous!

Good news! That will be a big help

You know what to do, and I know you can do it. I think you're very inspirational! Good Luck

Good luck!
