Recommended Posts

I would love to find others that are going through the same stages of lap banding that I am. I was banded on 3/18 and was released from the hospital 3/19. I weighed 250 at my pre op appt and today I weigh 239 and going down daily almost. lol. I am currently on a Liquid Protein diet that includes soft cream of ........ Soups and would like to hear from others. How your dieting is going and weigh loss. We could all be a great support network together. Hope to hear from you.

I was banded on 03/18 in WA. Weight loss isn't going very well right now. I was down 20lbs as of Monday. Then I was able go to mushies. I've put 5lbs back on this week. I'm so irritated. I keep telling my self that this is a healing time and that the real weight loss will happen after I get my fill (04/21). But it's still frustrating! How are you doing?

rkilbury,

I am doing very well since being banded. I am sticking to my 550 calories daily or very close by but I do find that its hard to get enough in with such few calories each day. I have only lost 14 pounds as of today and thought I would loss a little quicker but I am good with my results. I too look forward to getting my first fill but no date set as of yet. I am scheduled to have my staples out Friday April 4th, but I may go in on Monday so that can take a look because my skin is a little irritated around staples so maybe they will take them out early. I will keep my fingers crossed. How are you doing?

Hi Rklberry and Paula, I too was banded on March 18. At my first appointment with the doctor I weighed 292, before surgery 272, and the dietition 2 weeks later 262. I didn't have the staples they put in and have to remove, I have the ones that dissolve(?). Good luck on Monday Paula08. Today I was finally able to get in a full .5 liter of Water within 30 minutes. It usually took me all day.

      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?
