Hi,

I've been post lapband for 1year and six mths...lost 110 lbs..but, still flucuating..sometimes gain 10 and loose 10...I'm going in for my 6th fill...this afternoon. Dr. Adam Smith did my surgery last year. Very good doctor and he has another Dr. Fuerro, that works with him in the Ft. Worth, tx office. Both are very good.

I've done pretty good over the year...I don't think I'm loosing as quick as I should...but, the Dr. isn't complaining. I do know that I have angel wings...you know the loose skin hanging under my arms. That was one part of my body that was really big..I'm 58yoa, 5'2", but, have an hour glass figure. I'm active, I just can't wait till I can get this loose stuff off my body. I work nights, 10-6, so I don't exercise as much as I would like.

I'm having trouble eating, because I can't seem to get the red meat :omg:down, and sometimes the chicken doesn't go to easy. Potatoes, okay, gravies okay, but, can't eat fried potatoes..thank goodness..I need a list of acceptable foods I could try that aren't so fatening. I can't eat lettuce, or hamburger meat. Any body have any Ideas...I'm not a cook, don't like to cook, but will because I have to. Hope to be meeting some of yall. I live in Granbury, Tx...so if there are any fellow lapbanders e. mail me...God Bless yall. gardentre55@yahoo.com.:kiss2::faint:

CONGRATS! 110 lbs lost is AWESOME!

Ground meat works best for me unless the meat is super tender (like stew beef or crock pot tender) Revisit the RULES... I consider myself a newbie at 5 months... but I try to focus on my protien and water!

GOOD LUCK! and keep posting :)

      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?
