Two Year Bandiversary, February 15, 2008 was my day



Recommended Posts

Hello All,

Today is my Two Year Bandiversary!

I am down a total of 63 pounds from my all time high. I am 5 pounds away from a normal BMI (149). My weight has been stable for several months. I feel so good where I am that I haven't been strongly motivated to lose the rest of what I need to in order to get to my orginally selected goal of 140.

I am maintaining my current weight with ease. I eat to my appetite level and concentrate on making good choices and not eating junk. I am hopeful that this means I will not easily gain the weight back.

I am more active than I was two years ago because being more active is easier than it was. How nice is that?

I've lost weight, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and high cholesterol.

I've gained size 10 clothes, self-esteem, and self-confidence.

I'm not the largest person in the crowd. I don't feel as though people are looking at my plate and judging what I am eating.

I've had no complications. I hope to keep it that way.

Best wishes to all as we journey on to healthier selves!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
