One Year after Lap Band Surgery



Recommended Posts

This has been such an amazing journey. I have lost 70 pounds during the year since my surgery. I have have had a little trouble finding my perfect restriction, but I am very close now. I will get to a certain weight and seem to stay there a while and then will start to lose again. I have learned not to get discouraged as this seems to be the way by body acts to weight loss.

I have found Water arobics to be my favorite form of exercise . I have a bad knee so this is a way I can move without injury! Love it. In the summer I use an outdoor pool and as the weather cools I move to an indoor pool near my home. This has kept me toned and feeling good about myself!

I still have another 70 lbs. to go but I have faith by my next lap band anniversity I will be at my perfect weight!

      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?
