My First Goal...check!



Recommended Posts

Sooooo I was banded July 2 and I've lost 49 pounds. So about 2 years ago, I bought this beautiful dress and it totally didn't fit! Way too small but I loved it so much that I wanted to buy it anyway!

Soooooo when I was banded, I made two short term goals: get under 250 (started at 297) and where that that dress for a night out with my husband on our 2nd anniversary sept 19! I hadn't not gone under 250 in many many years and I figured by that weight, the dress would fit.

Well.... I weighed in at 249 and wore the dress out for our anniversary! It felt soooooooo good!! I'm only 1/3 of the way to my final goal...but these little accomplishments help push me along! Praise God!

I'm attaching a pic of me in the dress before going out! :)

      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.
