Seattle: Celebrating 3rd Bandiversary on 11/15



Recommended Posts

Hi there, looking for seasoned bandsters (especially in the Seattle area) who have been through the ups and downs and have been successful, then the air sorta came out of their sails and things slowed down. Looking for support in keeping the momentum going and keeping myself ever-aware, ever-mindful, and ever-alive to this incredible tool I have. My goal is approximately 40 lbs away....yes and I have been doing this 3 years.

Any sage advice from others out there?

Many Thanks!

I'm in Bellevue, coming up on my 2nd Bandiversary. I'm new to the area and also looking for support to keep the motivation going. I found this site to be absolutely wonderful. I'm going to a local support group at Overlake Hospital here in Bellevue next Thursday night 6-8pm....let me know if your interested. I have a hard time finding these threads, so if you post on my profile...

Hi!

I'm four years out and 6 lbs from goal. So close yet so far... I have been holding steady at this weight for a few months and have come up with a plan to shake things up.

Three days a week I will go to the gym ( I previously hadn't been exercising at a gym) and I will do strength training, followed by a yoga class, and then a half hour of cardio in that order. I will also continue at 1200 cal/day but will do a 42 gm Protein Shake for Breakfast instead of the 27 gm one. (myoplex, french vanilla) I can't really eat solids in the morning anyway.

Good luck on your journey,

      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?
