Hello from Colorado



Recommended Posts

Hello, my name is Jaclyn and I'm fairly new to this website. I'm nineteen years old, living in Colorado. I got the lap-band surgery done two years ago and I've already lost 217 pounds, and still have more to lose. I would post pictures up, but I don't know how to, so if anyone would be interested in telling me how to do so, I'd be more than happy to show you all. Have a wonderful evening and God bless!

-Jaclyn

Oh yeah--here are the directions I got from a friend for posting my before and after (actually during).

Go to the bottom where you would hit the Reply button and there is one that says ADVANCED, click it. Once there you have to title the post for some reason, but just type in something, "pics" or something. Anyway after that, underneath the window where you normally type there are several options, one of them is MANAGE ATTACHMENTS, click it. At the top then you click BROWSE, find your pictures on your computer, click UPLOAD. Once that is done, close the box and click SEND at the bottom of the original reply box.

You can only post one picture at a time this way and have the picture show in the text itself, if you upload more than one at a time, it does like yours did in the prior post, and show them as attatchments you have to click to open.

Good Luck, there are some really computer savvy people on here, who can help you way more than I can!!!

Good Luck!

Hi Jaclyn,

I just wanted to welcome you to LBT and tell you how amazed I am at the accomplishment you have made with your band! You truly show that the band can and does work, you go girl!! And now that you have the instructions on how to post pictures, I can't wait to see them. Wow, what an inspiration you are.

Hi, yes, I'm from Grand Junction, Colorado. My surgeon doctor for the lap-band is in Canyon City though; his name is Dr. Brown.

My pictures should be linked on the bottom of this page, and I hope it works. Thanks!

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
