That's great news!! I still struggle with getting enough in but I'm doing well, weight has slowed right down for a little but but I'm sure that'll pass, are you still on the Optifast? I just struggle big time with the shakes, before surgery I didn't mind them now they make me want to be sick :P

Wow that's awesome, well done. Unfortunately mine started well, lost 42kgs and then piled. It all back on, I have no resistance at all. I'm booked in to have an Omega loop bypass next month, hopefully I can achieve my goals then. Glad to hear you have done so well

Oh no sorry to hear that, I have major resistance my stomach doesn't like sweets or junk much at all nowadays I get I'll when I eat to much. I do still haven't got the strong hunger hormone so I do have weeks where I have to watch what I eat so I don't actually loose anymore. In saying all this though I do tire very easily and have suffered with gallstones and acute pancreatitis during my time. Really hope the loop bypass does the trick for you.

Hello, hello, It's already 2021 end of February. How are you ?

At the beginning of last November, in 2020: I had seen Dr. Kevin Dolan twice and he was insistent I needed my lap band removed.

He had gotten on the telephone to my wonderful Gp several times and had discussed with her the difficulties I was having which were:

vomiting,

pain

wasn't able to eat sometimes for about two weeks.

BUT my private insurance had lapsed. I immediately rang and had it put back on.

Dr. Dolan said that my lap band had slipped but boy, I didn't realize how ill I actually was. I went to the hospital emergency twice, the first time with my Mum and emergency Doctors told me to go home and the second time, they admitted me........after my boyfriend was screaming that no one seemed to be hearing my problems,

All of a sudden, everything changed and a wonderful surgeon came to see me that I was to be operated on within 2 hours. My Mum and son went to get something to eat and came back to an empty bed. The surgeon was WONDERFUL: Dr. Foo was his name. He said that I was that far away from developing a huge hole in my tummy from an eroding lap band.

Fortunately, he had removed all erosion from my tummy.

PROBLEMS: from 2 November to 20th Feb 2021

Gained 10 kilos !!!! How has this happened ???

My Psychotherapist and I are definitely discussing me getting a sleeve.

Dr. Dolan offered to give me a gastric sleeve. I have scars all through my Tummy, I can see Dr. Foo or Dr. Dolan, does anyone have any comments ??

Thanks for reading: Annie

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
