Anyone get banded at 190lbs?



Recommended Posts

@@mias76 I did get banded. How i feel about it still don't know. I weight 181-182 depending on the day.. Its been almost 2 months. I've been exercising and eating right, eating whatever i want is what got us in trouble in the first place. Taking it one day at a time I guess.. Hope you are doing better than me.

Hi. I got banded a little over 2 months and I'm at 180 although it's been a slow weightloss I'm really happy with it. Hang in there. I think for people who have less to loose the weightloss is slower

Got my band on Wed.. have had alot of pain. The doctor and clinic were amazing. The doctor also repaired a hernia. I keep having what feels like a spasms that start at my sternum and radiate through my chest.. Can't tell if I am hungry, in pain from surgery or ate too much. Is this common?

I was banded at 205lbs in April 17,2014. Most of my family thinks I'm crazy because I chose the band to loose 75lbs but none of them have had to deal with the weight fluctuations like I have! My insurance covered my surgery with a BMI of 36 because I have a weight related disease. I have lost 30lbs so far and don't regret my band at all. It's the weight loss pace I wanted and I'm glad it's working for me. I lost 90lbs 2 years ago but gained it al back during pregnancy. So more than anything I hope I can keep weight off with the band:)

I was banded on February 18 2014 weighing 196lbs today I'm at 172lbs my weight loss has been slow and still struggling to see if I'm really in the green zone....don't believe so. I have 5 cc in a 11 cc band. Just got to the 5 cc in June so dr. Is giving it time and I go back in sept. To see if I need a another fill. So overall I say it's hard and will probably be at a slower rate since ur starting bmi was lower. Good luck to you I hope you have success!!!

      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?
