Hello! I was also banded on 4/18/12 and have lost 38lbs , (congrats cbarreto on your 52lb loss). My scars are still noticeable but I think it’s partly because I just have that type of skin, the 4 smaller ones are less noticeable just dark in color and of course the port incision is longer. I go for my 3rd fill next week, so super excited to maybe hit the "green zone"

latisadawn-- how much weight loss for you? How are your scars doing? Have you hit the green zone?

I was banded 4/26 and everything is going good for me. I am down 45 lbs!!! My scars have healed nicely I have had 5 fills and I'm now at 5.5 cc in my 10cc band and I'm haveing a hard time deciding if it's the green zone or maybe a little tight I can't eat more than a quarter of a cup of food and things that were ok before I got my last fill I can't get down now. I go back to doc on the 31st so I will find out then.

      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.
