That is good to know (about the pita bread) I have heard most people say that they can't do bread, I am glad to know that there is some bread that works! Thanks~

Okay, after reading all of this thread, :ranger: this is the conclusion I have come to --

All bread is ASSUMED guilty until proven innocent.

And timing/spacing of bites is as important if not more important than size of bites and number of chews.

I don't know where she got that idea about milk but it isn't true. I am a big milk drinker and always have been. I have my Protein Shake every morning with 8 oz of skim milk...7 days a week. It does absolutely nothing. I drank milk during my liquid stage as well.

Do you think eating ice cream everyweek-end 1/2 gallon will damage the ban? I do it and nothing happens but slow to no weight loss?

Holy shit that is a lot of ice cream. I am not surprised you are not losing weight. You should be thankful you are not gaining weight.

That was my exact thought! Notice you have been at goal for 13 mths, congrats! I haven't been banded yet, 1st consult is next Wed. Have you kept off the weight thru just food, or are you exercising regularly?

Be Well,

Hi,

I saw that you were banded with Dr. Rumbaut. How did you like that? How was monterey? I was thinking of going with him, but I am really really scared. Can you please tell me how you are enjoying the band? Are you glad you did it? What problems have you had?

It would be great also if you could tell me how much it was to go to Dr. Rumbaut. I think it's about 10,500 or so.

Thanks!!!

      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.
