Hi I am only 5foot and around 200lbs. I gained alot of weight when I had my son and being a stay at home mom just haven't been able to keep it off. I worked out most of the summer about 3 days a week and tryed to eat healthy. I felt better overall but saw no weight loss. I tryed the no carb stuff but couldn't stick to it. I am over all pretty health other than being over weight. My BMI is 39.1 just under the min. I am planning to have another baby this year. I am really thinking about getting the lapband done once I am all healed up and done breastfeeding the new one. Im just not sure. Any thoughts? Oh and a main reason I want to lose the weight is so I can get a breast reduction. I wear a 38 HHH bra. My doc has said he thinks its a good idea once Im done having kids and breastfeeding but he wants me to be much closer to an ideal weight before the reduction. For someone of my hight an ideal weight is between 95 and 110. I haven't been that small since middle school. IDK

I did a reduction 16 yrs ago and I was at normal weight at the time. Unfortunately, it made breastfeeding really difficult years later so it is good that you are waiting until after you have kids.

I got heavy about 12 yrs ago and let me tell you, my boobs grew back! I still think they are smaller than they would've been if I never got the operation and then got heavy but they certainly got bigger as I got bigger.

I wish you well.

      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?
