bravobentley

i've had it done before and don't even remember feeling it! Don't worry it will be smooth sailing I hope for you

congrats!!!! that is incredible news thank you Jesus indeed

have you talked to your surgeon or doctor to make sure nothing is wrong physically i would hate to see you become dehydrated or have some kind of blockage of sorts im no medical professional just a worried friend feel better soon

Im 5'9 and my goal with my surgeon is 170 and thats coming from 423.6

I think people ask for advice because there is so much information out there and sometimes you just need extra thoughts and different reasons maybe you havent thought of or considered... which is why we see so many questions like which is better the band, sleeve, or bypass? I also think every person is entitled to their own choice and they have to choose whats right for them I personally am getting the bypass for my situation but I don't look down on the banders or sleevers or think any less of them just as I hope they wouldnt look down on me we are only human and we make the best choices we can great post!!! Im happy for you

that is awesome way to go!!! sorry about the skin but so happy about the weight loss keep us updated xoxo

Im not a bander I am at the first phase of GB but we all need support and after the ordeal that you are going through I couldn't imagine feeling good. We are here for you and wishing you a speedy recovery and what happens next??? Do you have the band replaced or go to a sleeve option or bypass?? I have read about the bands having to be removed before and then other procedures having to occur keep us updated xoxo

what procedure did you have done?

I am also just starting the process and I know how nerve racking it can be. I might be looking at getting the surgery in 6-8 weeks or 6-7 months and I think as much as I want it to happen fast and soon so I can start living a life more time may be just what I need time to figure out what role food has played in my life and what role it will play after surgery. I think the best thing you can do is follow your doctors orders research research research the procedure you feel is best for you and your body, and try to stay positive!!! You will make it thru this

that is awesome!!! Congrats and great job posting I know how you feel

had my initial consult today with my surgeon and felt amazing!!! He said we can have this process done in 6-8 weeks eeeeekkkk thats with me paying 20% if I choose to let my secondary insurance pay the 20% it's going to take an additional 6 months Im a bit torn if waiting is the right decision or staying on the fast track... has anyone else had to make this decision???

congrats!!!! that is amazing news good luck

that is a very long time but so happy for you that the majority of wait time is over Im at the begining phases and dreading a 6 month supervised diet grrr i hope you get an answer very soon!!!! GOOD LUCK
