My lapband has changed my life.



Recommended Posts

I had lapband surgery in May of 2006, my weight at my surgery date was 386 but I know I was over 400 pounds at some point previous to that. I was about to be a diabetic, severe sleep apnea, and just was going down a road towards death. Today I am happy to say I have hit 231 lbs went from wearing size 52" pants to 34"-36", wear xlarge shirts as opposed to 3x and 4x. I am able to play basketball with 20 year olds and run miles with know pain or sucking wind. I have to be honest sex life is better than ever, I swear my member is bigger than it has ever been so if any guys need encouragement weight loss has been all worth it from a libido and below the belt stand point for me. Enjoying my new body and would do it all over again.

I've "heard" that for every ten pounds a man loses, he gains an inch... Regardless, enjoy the new 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.

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