1 year bandiversary



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

I've been lucking for almost a year and finally registered. My one year anniversary was 12-4. I have lost exactly 100 pounds. I'm 5'8". I started at 255 and am 155 now. My goal is 150 but I don't really care if I get there because I'm thrilled with the way I look right now. I love my band and am so thankful I was able to afford it. I was a self payer and it was costly but so worth it. I just had a Tummy Tuck and breast lift with implants and some Lipo 5 weeks ago to complete the new me. Thanks for letting me share.

Here is my before picture and one just taken so you can see the results of my plastic surgeries. I'm in a bikini....OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! I know they are going to be huge again so I'm hoping Rebeccalee can make them same for me again. Thanks by the way and I just wanted to say Dr. Feng did my band surgery and Dr. Cirangle...aka, Dr. GQ has done 2 of my fuills. Small world. The plastic surgery was the worse pain I have ever had but it was worth it at the end. The 1st week is hell and then it's starts getting better. I would highly recommend anyone do it...the pain is short lived and the results are forever.

Belinda,

I have seen Dr. Feng a couple of times. He is a sweetie. Dr. C is a great doctor, but he chews my butt on occasion. Really....I don't know why. :guess I'm glad I chose them to do the surgery. :D

Wow, Belinda, what a great job! Where did you have your plastic surgery done? How much weight did you lose - just from the PS? What size clothes were you then and now? How old are you? You look like a kid! (That's a beautiful baby you're holding!) I am so impressed!

Rebeccalee,

Dr. Cirangle really chewed out mine too. I have to go for my yearly and I see them in Sacramanto. Well, Dr. C was this month so I'm waiting till next month because he doesn't believe in PS until your 2 years out. I know he'll yell at me...LOL

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
