weight watchers and the band



Recommended Posts

Does anyone who has the band do weight watchers or have you did it since you got the band? If so can you eat your points worth and do you still lose?

Hey there. I started weight watchers 2 months ago. I have had 3 fills and with working out and being very careful about my food I'm down 43 pounds. My surgeons likes that I go to weight watchers because she said it will help me eat enough. I usually come within 5-8 points of my daily points (I'm supposed to eat 28 points).

My leader knows I've had lap band (the group does not) and I think that weight watchers has really helped me. I joined when my initial weight loss slowed down and I think it was the best thing for me.

      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?
