Yay Alex! Looking good Brooklyn! Christie looked way bigger than 350 tho. I think they're not being truthful about his starting weight.

Alex, I'm glad you were featured. But the article would have been so much better if they focused on more success stories like yours and how you made the band work for you. To me the article was too negative. It's true that it's not an easy fix and there can be complications. But it IS a fix and many compliant banders find their lives totally transformed, all for the better. Anyway, although I would have liked the article to be more positive, it was still a good way to get some info out to the public. And you look fit and fantastic!!!!

Congratulations Alex!

Thank you for all you do. I think the article leaned towards the negative side regarding the lap band. It's only a tool. I give you a lot of credit because the lap band takes a great deal of discipline in order to LOSE the weight and KEEP the weight off.

Blessings,

Kathleen

Well, duhhh!! You ARE a celebrity, Alex.... And I never really saw a picture of you until now... Can we say HOTTIE?!!

Was kinda bummed out because it was leaning so negatively towards the band. Also, Mitchell Roslin was my sister's surgeon.

Way to go Alex !!! Thanks for being our "voice" for WLS patients !!! I agree with the above post about the article being so negative. Where was all the success stories and positive comments ? Im almost 3 yrs out and I still can't come up with anything negative !! Where are the stories on that ??

      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.
