Independence Day Challenge



Recommended Posts

Hey ladies, how are things going for everyone? Is anyone having any success on the challenge so far?

Anyway, I'm back in town and I'm pleased to announce that I didn't gain any weight and I did eat pretty much anything I wanted, but really watched the portions. We went out everyday for at least one meal. I needed to catch up on all the good food that I've missed since moving to a small town.

I hope you ladies are doing well.

I haven't lost a single pound. I'm in desperate need of a fill and don't have an appt until the 30th. I'm worried because I'm going to the beach in week or so and I just hope I don't gain.

Today is the first day I can test my "fill". The revision went great on Friday. So far I have just maintained - that's for the last two weeks. I go back to Dr. B. on 6/24 for my post-surgery follow-up. I'm hoping he will do a fill then if I need it. My stomach has been making some weird noises this morning!

How is everyone else?

I'm also wondering whether I'll make mine or not. I know it's Water, but I'm up 2 pounds. This hasn't been a very good month for me. I did get a fill today so hopefully it'll help, I just hope that it was enough.

I had a 10:00 appointment and was out around 10:30. Sorry I missed you, I almost asked if anyone was going in today, next time I will. This was my first time meeting Leslie (who took Elizabeth's place) and I really liked her. I hope she sticks around. It's nice that she's been banded too. She knows what we're going through.

Well I lost what I gained and one extra pound. That gives me 6 days to loose 3 pounds for my goal. Probably won't happen, I haven't lost that much in weeks and weeks, but I did have a small fill. Can always hope anyway.

      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?
