Nice job.

What were/are your stats? How long did it take you to lose the weight? and how long have you kept it off?

Congrats...you look awesome!

You look amazing! So did you stick to low carb- exercise? did you lose it over one year or several years?

That's awful they wouldn't give you fills! I have never heard of such.

Congrats.

I am new on here and don't know how to reply to an individual. Yes, low carb, because my band won't let me eat breads. And I do work out five times a week. Yes, they wouldn't give me a fill a couple of times, and that was very frustrating. They told me they wanted me to do it on my own a little longer, blah blah, finally I went in a had a different guy that gave me my final fill and I lost the last 40lbs.

When you got the final fill- how was it? did you just know - that was it? do you PB a lot? I have had numerous fills and just never have gotten to that point yet.

You look great.

I'm almost four years out from being banded as well. I've gained back about 20 lbs. from where I was most comfortable, but surprisingly, I've heard from others that I look better with a little more meat on my bones. I'm working on losing at least 10 of those 20 lbs. That should make me feel better about where I am.

I was happy to ready your time frame as I am in my 7th month and still have only lost 10 lbs as you have said your Dr was slow to give you fills so is mine. I find when I exercise I am staving and then eat to fast and sometimes get stuck. It really is a learning tool to use over a long period of time.

My stats? I'm guessing what I weighed? I went from 265 size 22-20 to 155 size 8-10. It took a long time, because they wouldn't give me fills sometimes. Over a year.

      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?
