Banded 2 Yrs Ago And Lost My Way



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone~

March 3, 2008 was to be the beginning of my amazing lapband journey. But unfortunately, I'm still far from goal. I had no complications, but somehow I've lost my focus, direction and fire. I haven't had a fill in over a year! Guess I'm a little embarrassed at making so little progress. I desperately want to find my way back to losing weight and making this lapband work for me! That's why I'm here. :rolleyes:

Any suggestions and/or pearls of wisdom would be GREATLY appreciated and taken to heart! :confused:

p.s. I live in McKinney, TX and am the proud mom of two boys. I've been married 8 years to the love of my life who remains incredibly supportive throughout this journey. :angry:

Don't be embarrassed. Just jump right back on the wagon. Go see you doctor, they are there to help not judge so don't worry. You have to do whatever you need to take care of you and your family, so go get a fill and feel happy and confident about it. Good Luck!!!

Hey!

Don't be ashamed about slowing down. I started feeling that way too but then I joined a gym. Trust me - I was very nervous about joining. But it was AWESOME! I love it! I could work out every day if I could. I like to go atleast 4 times a week. I would recomend starting out at a smaller gym. They are more comfortable feeling and ALL types of people go. Not just the skinny minis. Anywho! Good Luck!

Remember - we all have messed up before - that's why we had the surgery. You can change things around! Believe in yourself.

      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?
