Six Weeks Post Op...And All Okay!



Recommended Posts

It's been six weeks since my lap band surgery and I have to tell you so far I am extremely happy of how it is helping me lose my weight.

I underlined that because I see alot of people who are somewhat disheartened with their outcome so far. The band will not work miracles for you. Its a 50/50 plan that you have to work with as well.

You can do it and you can make this happen for you.

So far in the past 6 weeks I am proud to say that 51 pounds are gone that I will never see back again. Sayonara, Good Riddence and dont let the door hit you in the #$%.

Best of Luck to all

Well done! You are rocking the band!

I agree with you completely - there are bandsters our there who are desperate to lose the weight, yet they haven't modified their eating habits, the quality of food consumed or the speed at which they consume it. No wonder they progress is slow, or stalled.

I've found myself stalling here and there (damn you, cabernet sauvignon addiction!), and when I do, I remind myself of the 8 golden rules by watching the videos again. Never fails to kick start my weight loss again by reminding me of the importance of keeping up MY end of the "banding bargain".

Congrats on your loss! AMAZING!

      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?
