Three months out...



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone. I weighed in today, have lost 34 since surgery on May 27th, 64 since I began trying to lose in November.

Had my second fill last Thursday, and the scale has started moving again. WAHOO!

I had my band placed May 23rd and have lost 32 pounds since then. I am glad to see that I am in the ballpark with someone else. I was afraid I should have lost more as it has really slowed down to a pound here and there. Good job so far!

I'm feeling a bit frustrated too Tonja. It´s like I´ve been fooling with the same 4 pounds for a month. GRRR. I have lost an inch in my thighs though in the past month.

I'm right there with you. I keep waiting for it to jump start again but hasn't really happened but I am trying to tell myself that 2 pounds a week is good and quit being so greedy.

You all are not alone! I've lost about 36lbs or so since surgery 5/23.....over the last 3 weeks or so about 2 pounds!!! It seems when I restrict my diet more I stay at the same weight...but if I "pig out" meaning I eat a little more, I lose a pound! I think I may not be eating enough calories sometimes...and I have to step up my workouts but we're doing great!!! 3 months 30+ lbs....that's awesome!!

Nice to know I'm not losing my mind. Was worried did I stretch my pouch? But seems like we're in the same boat! Maybe I can get another fill next week. C'mon sweet spot!

I went for my second fill and my doctor would not do it.. he said I was doing well on my own to wait for 6 more weeks... WHAT?? had a surgery to be told to do it on my own ??? He stressed that there are only 10CC's and I should save them for when I need the other 8 I have... so i am on 2CC's Total weight loss was 42 lbs since surgery on May 19th... I can eat what ever I want to... I feel like I am on WW not lapband.... oh well we will see how I do..

That does seem odd. I had my third fill last Thursday. Think I am FINALLY experiencing some restriction. Keep us posted. Hang in there!

I just had .5cc put in my band today. I felt disappointed because I only lost 2oz from my last appointment in July. I have had a good amount of weight loss until I discovered how easily sugary, high calorie foods go done. I am hopeful my fill today will help me get back on track-especially because I am on a liquid diet for the next two days.

      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?
