Banded 2 months ago



Recommended Posts

I had it done on 10/27/07 and have lost 30 lbs so far. It was hard since my 50th Birthday was on 11/14 and I still could not eat solid food, and then there was Thanks Given - I still have hard days when I would like to eat what I call comfort foods!

Dear dirtpuppy,

I got banded on 11-04-07 with Dr. Kuri in Mexico. I was so scared but traveled with a friend. So far I have lost 25 lbs but nothing for the last two weeks. Its time for my first fill. Have you got one yet? KimK

I was banded on 1 November and lost 29 lbs but haven't been doing too well in the last 2 weeks... definitely need more restriction and less head hunger. I have joined the November Nymphs weight loss challenge to lose another 10.7 lbs by 14 February... hope I can get there.

I have had one fill so far - 6 week after my operation. I had it done by Dr Playa in Glendale, CA - I was told to come back in 2 1/2 months. I also have had periods were I do not lose anything, but then a couple of pounds will come off.

Right now my exercise routine has been walking - I did get a treadmill and that helps.

      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?
