And am definitely happy with my choice after being told many times I was cheating by getting banded ... 60 more to go !!

Congratulations on your progress so far!

The people who told you that you were "cheating" by having surgery have no clue as to how hard we bandsters have to work to achieve our goals with weight loss!

Wishing you continued success with your journey!

Way to go !! 30 lbs in 2 months is great !Im down 37 lbs in 5 months but i consider that great progress. As far as people thinking you are "cheating", no body would consider it cheating if they had to wear glasses or contacts to be healthier and live a normal life , now would they ? Those items are "tools" too to help people to see, just like a lap band is made to help people to live a healthier life. So if you cant educate them, just ignore the misinformed and enjoy your progress towards a healthier you! It only gets better !

I'd rather cheat and live longer, than to continue sitting around making excusses why I can't breath when I go walking or up and down my stairs. I decided at this point in my life to live for me and not worry about what others think. So far I love my new life. 30# is awesome, keep up the good work. :P

      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.
