So I am starting to get nervous...

The band is working great for me right now, Im dropping a good 2lbs a week,,, I am at a loss of 46lbs right now!! I am so happy!!

However, I am starting to look ahead ,, and with the way things are going the ill be nearing 200lb soon... which is great -- but i have gotten so close to that point before and never been able to pass it,, i dont remember the last time i was in onederland...

I am nervous i am facing that failure again. How can I keep my head in the game and not worry about and know that i will get to it and get past it....

Don't have any advice. Just letting you know that you are not alone. I haven't lost as much as you, I'm at 224 right now. I haven't been under 200 in forever. That's where I always get stuck, and can't get past it. I completely feel your pain and worry! But this time is different! We will get past it and keep on losing until we reach our goal!

I am down 100 pounds and expecting my plateau any day now. I've convinced myself that it is coming and that it is a normal part of weight loss. I'm ok with it.

In return, I am happier with every week that passes that I am still losing.

I have been where you are. Believe me. I had not been under 200 pounds since my youngest child was born over 16 years ago! I had my surgery last May and finally hit ONEderland a couple of weeks ago. I like you thought it was impossible to get there, but you will.

The difference between now and in the past is you have this wonderful lapband tool. It doesn't matter how fast you get there. Just take it a day at a time, keep getting fills as you need them and enjoy the moment when you get there!

      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.
