Sorry for the delay in response. I certainly hope that your surgery went well. Dr. Fox was an excellent surgeon and has great aftercare. As long as you follow what you are supposed to do you should not have any complications. I haven't had any issues physically with the band. The only thing that I have had problems with is in the morning I have to drink something hot before I eat because I feel super restricted during that time. I have finally given up all bread and pastas and Dr. Fox will stay on you regarding those. I like hime because he is very honest and doesn't baby like some other surgeons I know. He has stayed on me with my weight loss. Some other things he tells you to stay away from is cheese. I am here if you have any questions or need to talk. I am so happy I had the surgery. I am 16 months post op and I have lost 45 lbs which is my halfway goal. It is a slow process but that is the way it should be. Let me know how things went! And Congrats!!!!

I see Dr. fox was your surgeon. I am scheduled for April 9. Just wondering how you feel about him. As the date is getting closer I am starting to have 2'nd thoughts about everything. I read the complications forum and am not so sure now. Any complications for you?

My insurance did not pay for the testing but I was able to use my flexable spending dollars and it was well worth it. I went thru Tru Results with my surgery and they referred me to one of their other centers in Hurst, TX for it.

It's back on! I did need an adjustment on my last visit. Word to those who don't know..... do not wait 6 months for an adjustment even if you think everything is ok. I also had metabolic testing and found out that I have a very slow metabolism. Just knowing these answers has helped me see what else I need to do for my weightloss. Had an upper GI ( not for lap band reasons ) but they did say that I did not have any slippage or errosion! YEAH!!! Ready go get back to the gym on Monday. I am super excited because I started running. Never thought that I would be able to say that. :smile2:

Ok so on my last entry I had advised that I was feeling really disappointed in myself for not loosing like I should be. Now I am really discouraged because I am constantly craving and wanting foods that are not good for me and will continue to hinder me further. I feel like I am intentionally sabotaging my progress. Is this possible? I am wayyy to young to not get into gear and help myself! Why doesn't it click?

I hit my restriction in July and that is why I haven't had another one. I go back in a couple of weeks to check up on everything. I am going to ask about what else I can do to help my weight loss. -

So when you say that you cleanse every 30 days is that just doing the shakes for 2 days and then soft foods? Or do you do something else. I will definently try the food intake suggestion. -

Ok so December 18th was my 1 year post op. I had my last fill in July and I have only lost 6 lbs in that time period. After Thanksgiving I actually lost 3 of those pounds. I have started working out HARD and I do contribue that to gaining muscle but I feel like I have truly hit that plateau. It's coming up to a new year and I am happy to be under 200 lbs. ( 193 to be exact) My goal is 140 so I feel like I still have a long way to go. I just want to feel good again like I did back before July. Any insperation will be helpful!:Dancing_wub: -
