Dave_NW you made my day! Been a while since I was told I was smart. Thank you! I just thought someone might bring a camera out and say it was a prank, but it is real life crazy people. I am like you I am 51 and want to lose 15 or 20 more but if I don't and stay where I am at I would be happy too. When they pass away at least their caskets will be light , , , sorrythat was rude , , , but they were laughing at me.

You're welcome. :)

It feels so good to be able to eat again. If you are too tight please go for that little unfill so worth it!!

That's insane! It sounds like they have eating disorders and need psychological help!

Hard to believe anyone could get the band at 136 pounds (female) . I weighed 185 and the OR nurse told me I was the smallest person she had ever seen getting banded. I am in Houston Texas also and when I go to fills (true Results) I never see people thin like you saw. They must have real issues, I think fills are rather expensive. I got one year of free adjustments with my surgery so have yet to pay. Just wondering where you went?

First crazy people I have met in over 2+ years. But they were enough for a lifetime.

I've had my band for 2 years too but I'd never go that crazy and have it that tight! It can't be healthy and eventually it WILL catch up to them. Sounds like a vicious, contro freak cyle to me. None of us ever want to gain weight and none of us ever want to give up hope of being our dream weight. BUT the gains we've made health wise should be what matters, not if we ever make that magic number or not. They have gone to the extreme for sure.

      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?
