Hi

I am from the UK and in need of further support on my weight loss journey! I have been banded for nearly 3 years but I am slipping back into me 'old ways' lately and need to pull myself out!

I weighed 294lb when my journey began and I now weigh 168lb so still a little way further to go.

I spend a lot of time online looking and researching plastics which will be the next step for me or at least I hope it will be...

I look forward to getting to know you all on our journey!

Hi MsTaylor!

Welcome and congratulations on your weight loss :clap2:

Sorry you are having a hard time with the weight loss right now. I think we will always struggle with this, or at least at some point. It really is a lifestyle change, and sometimes we will fall off the wagon. We just have to pick ourselves up and get back on.

It is nice to meet you and I hope things work out for you. Good luck with the plastic surgery.

Hi

I need plastics for my stomach and legs, there is a little skin that I am not very happy about living with but I do need to lose about another 20 - 25lb before any surgeon will even look at me and this is proving very hard to achieve!

What have you been eating? Are you exercising? Is it possible that you may need a fill?

Sorry for so many questions, just trying to see if I can help you figure this out.

I agree with Georgia girl, you may need another fill.

      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?
