Hi! I am new to this site and have already fallen love with it. I was banded March 28, 2007. I have lost 100lbs. I have been very excited with the results and the new found energy I have for life. I hit a rough spot the past 2 months by loosing and gaining the same 3-4 pounds. This week I lost 6 lbs, so I hope I am getting back on track. I do not have an appointment with my Dr. until Feb. but I am thinking I may try to move it up. I really think I need a fill. I have only had to have 2 thus far.

:lol: I love my band and would do it all over again. I really wish I would have done years ago.

Welcome Christie!

Congratulations on your success, 100 lbs in less than a year is awesome!!!! I hope I can be that successful by my 1 year mark. You're very fortunate to have only needed 2 fills in almost a year. I've already had 4, but my doctor is not quite as aggressive with his fills as some of the others. You probably do need a fill. Don't get discouraged, be proud of what you have accomplished and just hang in there until you get a fill. Good luck to you!

      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.
