I just wanted everyone to know how thankful I am for you. Although I don't "know" any of you. You have been my biggest supporters during my journey. I love to read the post even if I don't respond. I especially like to thank Carolinagirl,hazelbliss, mis and go walking ... And a few others whose screen makes escape me right now. Dam I phone won't let me toggle ... Mostly everyone here has been wonderful and supportive. Some have posted my same concerns or worries and Victories which just encourages n helps me more. Getting banded on July 1,2013 was the best decision of my life. Everything has changed in a positive way not just my weight n how I look but I have changed as well. Although I'm cautious entering this holiday season. I will get through it and be successful. This band was the tool I needed most. With my clean eating n work out schedule goal is within my reach in the next year or so time frame not as important as reaching that destination. Just wanted to say thank you to all of you who have encouraged and taught me and will continue to do so along this new phase of becoming the new healthier me :)

Thankful for you :)

I was banded on 11/28/11. I recall my first 30 days through the holidays and fortunately I had the post surgery instructions to keep me in line. Then Holidays 2012 came along and I gained about 6 lbs but right after the holidays it came off. I think it was mostly just some Holiday fluids clinging on.

But, this wonderful band of mine reminds me to eat healthy so it's been the best thing I've done for myself in decades. I just need to steer clear of those snickerdoodling friends and neighbors who secretly want to sabotage my journey :ph34r: :wub:

Congrats and Happy Holidays!

      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.
