Missy,

Glad to here you are back on track. I think we all loose focus on portion sizes sometimes, I know I do. I just got a fill and an eye opening yesterday. I gained 3 lbs in a 2 week period. I had been eye balling my portions.... My eyes aren't that good at Portion Control. So today I got the scales and measuring cups back out. And last night I re-read my doctors diet instructions to refresh myself. I have been doing this 7 months now and I needed a refresher.

So, regroup. Onwards & upwards my friend. Take care.

Measuring my food and counting calories was my contribution to helping my band give me the maximum benefit and it worked. I truly belief if you don't do that you won't have the results you desire. Best of luck to you...

      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.
