My surgeon does something similar called an iDEXA scan. I will get one 6 mo post op too. It helps my Dr. make sure I am losing fat instead of muscle. For me it was a huge motivator. There is a skinny person inside of me, I can see her. now I just have to work hard to reveal her.

Thanks to all who posted on this thread. Unfortunately, I had to have my lapband removed. Fortunately, I lost all of weight I wanted to. Unfortunately, it took a really nasty case of acute gallstone necrotizing pancreatitis to lose the weight. I was hospitalized for 5 months, had 6 operations, sepis, lung and kidney failure, etc. I also had to go 1 1/2 months initially and later 4 months on npo (or nothing by mouth - I couldn't even have ice chips), lost half my colon, and still have an ileostomy (which is supposed to eventually be reversed). I am doing much better now, but am still convalescing. It has been a hell of a year.

Wow, you sound like a really strong person to go through that. Hope all gets better for you.

On top of all of this, I recently foud out I have endometrial cancer. I am hoping it is at an early stage, but won't know that until I have my hysterectomy. I see Dr. Brengman tomorrow, as I am hoping he will reverse my ileostomy at the same time. Dr. Brengman does bariatric surgery, but does a lot more also.
