    New- Just had surgery

    Great, that's what I had as well. The rules right now for you are whatever your doctor tells you. I'm sure you're still on liquids right now and don't think that you can cheat on that. Are you back at work now? Are you feeling ok?

    Hi @@kholliday2010, welcome to the group! Can you tell me what type of surgery you had? Without knowing I can tell you to walk, walk, walk and to follow your doctor's orders to a T ! I'm happy to help and looking forward to getting to know you.

    Questions about results

    I too am 5'5" with a starting weight of 238 lbs so pretty close to yours. I lost 100 lbs and although I do have some sagging skin, I don't think it's noticeable. I lost slowly (took 2 years) so I think that helped my skin react better.

    What is Your Goal Weight at 5'5

    He gave me a goal of 135 and I laughed out loud. I got there and liked it so much I decided to stay.

    I think it's over...

    Hi Kelly, I'm sorry you felt that way but glad to hear that you're ready to move forward. I would recommend an appointment with your surgeon and even an exam under fluro so he/she can see if there was any damage done to your band. You should have a clear answer after that on how to proceed. Best of luck to you.

    Band removal

    My stats are right under my photo....see them? I've lost 110, got too skinny and gained a few back on purpose.

    Band removal

    Feb. 2011 was my surgery and I've been at my goal weight for 2 years. Fluctuating about 2-4 lbs any given day. Yes, I weigh daily, hush!

    Band removal

    I just looked up Cypress, like an idiot. I work in Jersey Village. Cypress just sounds so far!! My surgeon is in that area as well, Dr. Ahmad, he's pretty great, but I rarely see him anymore since I'm 4 years out. I had an un-fill in November (was really tight) and hadn't seen him in 2 years prior to that. I'm guessing you recommend regular check ups? Any idea what caused the slip?

    Sugar Land. Did your band slip? Who is your surgeon? Sorry I hijacked your post, hope you get your answers.

    Hi @@charlesoakes68, I cannot answer your questions since I have not experienced a removal, but did you already have the sleeve revision? Although I do not have any complications right now, I am not against going to a sleeve when or if I ever do. Just curious what the transition was like. -dt

    Random every day questions/thoughts.

    My kitchen has a lady bug infestation. And by "infestation" I mean 3 or 4. Anyone know why and how to get rid of them? I live in Texas.

    Thanks everyone. I still have a hard time seeing myself as "skinny" but that's a mental image that I'll always struggle with.
  22. I too weigh daily, but am maintaining so I like to make sure I keep an eye on my normal fluctuation.
