Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to share an update I know it has been awhile since I have posted anything. I went for my apponitment yesterday I am a few days shy of my 3rd month post op. I have been losing slowly in all since my procedure I have lost 30 pounds. I have a total of 4 cc in my band I finally ask my dr. I must share with everyone I am soo glad I decided to have the band done.

In all since I have been trying to lose with these past two years off and on. I was reflecting back to my weight and so far I have lost 61 pounds. I look forward to keep moving in the right direction. :smile:

Mike,

Thank you, I am still learning as far what I can and can not eat. For the most part I can eat about a cup to a cup and a half. I tend to get full fast so I stop once I get that feeling. I have only had one bad experience while eating and I think I just ate it too fast and got stuck. So now I really chew my food well. I just know my eating habits have changed alot I used to drink sodas all the time. It's been since I went for my band consult since I have stayed soda free....lol. well I wish you the best luck I know you will do great.

      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.
