Loosing weight in stages.....



Recommended Posts

Hi there,

I just had my lap band surgery about 5 weeks ago and I lost 10 lbs in the first two weeks, and only another 5 lbs since then. I found that I can eat a lot and there really isn't anything that I can't eat.

I don't get really really hungery as before and can go all day without eating till late afternoon.

I think that I have made some errors in choices regarding food and beverages.

I also started smoking again, so back to 800-quit-now I go. It is a really great program and a cheap cheap price...

I go in for my first tightening of the band.

Have you had that done yet?

How is it afterward? I am guessing it will be similar to right after surgery. I will be careful for awhile and phase back into knowing what I can and cannot eat again.

It is nice to have hope and room in my pants again.

People I know that are heavy enjoy getting my hand me downs...

Take care..

Jeanette:faint:

      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?
