Well I am new to all of this. New to blogging and banding! I am now... 30 days post surgery. I am doing ok... I am at the stage where I have not had a fill but am noticing I am hungry more often. I am not sure if it is just me freaking out or this is the way it is suppose to be... I kind of though you wouldn’t feel the hunger like I did my first 2 weekish after surgery.

I hope this feeling I felt the first two weeks comes back. I like not being hungry. Not that I am eating much when I do eat still mostly puree foods and liquids some soft solids... but I just am want that feeling back.

I am so excited I have gotten the lap-bad and know I am going to do GREAT! I have start exercising even jogging around the park at my house. I weighted in on surgery date May 1, 2012 at 320.3 lbs post surgery at the doctors on May 11, 2012 I was 306.3 lbs... I hope on my first fill I hit the 300lbs mark!

I am young and I knew this was the choice for me... I felt I had to do this. I had too many health problems so young. I was going to die just like my father at 42 years old, I was past the half way mark at 23 years old... I knew I wanted to out live him and that is what made my final choice to take the hard step towards a new me.

I wish everyone the best of luck with their journey! We are already stronger than most becasue we took the FIRST step!

Nice to meet yall,

Danielle

      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.
