I was banded 12/02 by Dr. Rick Fromm in Dalton, too! He is absolutely great!

To date, almost 7 months later, I have lost 65 1/2 pounds!

WONDERFUL weight loss! How are you doing it? I'm 3 weeks post-op and I haven't lost a pound since the first week. What am I doing wrong?

Melly:confused:

Use these rules:

Protein first...

Veggies second...

A dab of carbs, if you still have room.

Stop when you're full.

60-70 ounces of Water per day.

Never get hungry! It's great!

I even occasionally splurge, and still lose weight. By splurge, I mean eat something sweet.

I've gone down 8 inches in the waist, 2 shirt sizes, and 3 suit sizes. My shoes are even loose!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
