Very Happy

Hello All,

Your stories are so inspiring, I am newly banded with gastric plication on April 11 2011. Starting weight before the preop diet was 355lbs and size 28 jeans. Since then I have lost a total of 45 lbs and now my pants are so loose that I may need to start buying a smaller size. I am so happy because I have never lost this much weight at one time and I have been in the 300's for the past three years. Not a good place to be. Since my surgery I no longer have to take my insulin resistance medicine and my health is leveling out. I have even inspired my husband to eat better and you guys have inspired me;thats why I love this website.

Good luck to you on your journey and mine,

FeFe

Hello FeFe, I was ready your reply and noticed that you take insulin resistance meds. Or not any more. How has the surgery helped your levels. I too and a bander and had to take myself off the meds (to big to swallow) Beta shots were making me sick so they took me off of it. Just would like to know how things have changed since surgery for you. I am also Hypothyroid as well with Hoshimoto Disease. I am hoping to have some wonderful changes in my levels as well.
