Recommended Posts

It has been a long time since I've been on the board. With the weight loss life is to fun and busy to stop LOL. As of today Deb and I have lost a total of an amazing 400lbs. Deb have lost 168 and I have lost 232lbs. We have lost around 50lbs more than our first goals. Our fill is still tight. We many have to have some taken out if we lose any more. We are happy where we are at now. Deb has gone from a size 30 dress to a 8 and I have gone from a size 60 suit to a size 42 and 50 waist to a 32. This last picture was about 50lbs ago.

Congratulations, that's amazing. What a bonus that you two could do this together. You always have that someone there to root you on and also someone who truly understands what you are going through and you can share your hopes and fears with total acceptance.

My DH is so supportive, but try as he may, he can never truly understand.

Of course, that's why I come here!

I am SO glad you posted this thread! Being relatively new, I often wonder what happens in the coming years--and now I can see a real success story continues!!

It does seem sometimes that the only "old" banders who ever post here are those who say they've totally lost their way and have gained back 50 pounds! So it so refreshing to hear from someone who proves the band DOES work forever!!

Our heartiest congratulations to you both, Dow and Deb!! :sneaky: Your picture looks mahvelous, even WITH the extra 50!

      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?
