Hi, to all the banded ppl! Consultation date weighed 224, surgery Dr. Alex Esquivel in Texas and weigh was 211, First Fill weight was 200 getting ready for my second fill tomorrow I weigh 198. Im short and round, really wanna keep the short and less of the round....lol! My big to worries so far is portion control.... I struggle to keep focused and my stinking period dose not help, I have been working on changing that with diffrent BC. Honestly though it has been a struggle, the craving hit me bad straight out of surgery i wanted to eat the world and then a couple days later i got my period. With that I also learned that as i healed i began to feel less restriction and was able to creep to the dark side and eat poorly, that's no good when your paying a crap load of money for this surgery.....yeppers feel like a sad.:(

I started walking a week after surgery 1 mile the next week 2 miles now I will walk 2-4 miles if I miss a workout. Now i do cardio daily and strength training daily. I actually stay on a routine with my workouts cuz in my head i think i can eat what i want if i workout so i need to change that.

My body feels diffrent, I can wear some clothes i havent seen in awhile that feels nice, my blood pressure is normal and i feel less tired, still tired but less and feeling tired is on me because i choose to eat badly and results are tired and shoulder pain, nasty belching and bad gas.....so many reasons to stay on track , right?

Currently still learning what i can do and not do, should do and not.

      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.
