Hi! It's been 100 days since my surgery date! I've posted a recap of the days and progress photos on my blog:
http://banderland.weebly.com/100-days-of-lap-band.html

I was hoping to be able to post that I lost a total of 50 lbs pre- and post-, but it's not meant to be! I have plateaued at 49 lbs for a week now!!! I'll take the good with the bad though. Lap-Band has been great to me.

What a great blog! Seriously. Loved reading through your journey. I am so happy for you! Congratulations on all and happy bike riding. Happy everything. So wonderful to reclaim life like this. I also really hovered at the 49 down and wondered if it was psychological or something as it was also aligning for me with the whole Onederland thing. Now I think it was just my body's need to stabilize a little after that almost fifty loss. When it finally went, I lost a pound a day for five days. Whoosh. It is all very exciting.

Thanks for the encouragement! I am happy to read your comment about my body stabilizing. It's a little discouraging to plateau, but I guess it's all part of the journey!

      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?
