Iband With Gastric Sleeve Plication

Were you able to eat more before your fills? @ short and chunky because I can eat almost 2 slices of pizza. That scares me a bit. I'm hoping when I get filled I won't be able to eat as much.

Terri what part of Texas did you have your surgery done in? I live in Tx (dallas/ft w) and had my first consult last week. I have had so many people try to talk me out of this. Im on Weight Watchers too and lost 13 lbs in a month. Ive got about 80 lbs to go. I really enjoy reading your posts. I was following the lady a few pages back that was so nervous. She was 8 hrs from surgery and then never reposted...ugh. One thing I am really worried about is my skin sagging after I loose the weight. Today a fitness instructor tried to talk me out of it for that very reason. Hope I don't chicken out!

Does anybody have problems with bread? That seems to be the one thing I keep hearing about.....I will never be able to eat bread or drink pop again. It's ok as long as I can still eat Mexican food. Lol

[sissy24 2]

OMG! Wow! I would LOVE that! That is totally awesome!

I have my nutrition appt and psych appt this week. Then waiting for insurance approval. I have no idea how long I will have to wait for my surgery. I am totally floored that you all live close. How cool is that?

That's great a few of us have the same Dr,.!! Every now and then I have problems with bread. The smaller the bite the better!! SIssy, I had my psych appt and she just asked a few questions then she will give you a web site that will instruct you on your evaluation!!There were alot of questions!! You will be able to loose the weight from weight watchers on the 2 weeks pre-op diet!! It took me 2 days for approval after she checked my psych questionaire! I am 50 and my skins seems to be doing fine!! But i'm just getting started!! I'd rather have a little loose skin than be overweight! Hey Tahnee I finally can put a face with your name!!

Terri will you add me as a friend? I'm new and don't know how to use this site yet. Lol

I don't have any problems with bread but that may be because I haven't gotten a fill yet. I am hoping to do this without getting a fill because I feel that the plication gives me plenty of restriction.

The only carbonated drink that I've had since surgery was a malt beverage about a week ago. For the most part it was fine but I was at a club where the not only stop serving drinks at 2 am they take your drink away from you so I decided to chug about half the 12 oz bottle and that took a little effort but it wasn't painful

[dragonfly2009 5]

i haven't had any carbination but I saw on some site that people do after about 6 mo. after surgery!! I'm think I'm just going to stay away from that!! I had a fill last wed and it still feels a little tight I think I may need to have a little Fluid taken out and then I will prob be in the green zone!! Hope everyone is having a great day!!

I have lost 36lbs since having the lapband & plication in November. I do miss bread, but the results are worth it. Good luck on your surgery.

[dragonfly2009 5]

As of today I have lost 52 lbs!! Yayy!!
