Recommended Posts

Hello Everyone! I am new to this site and wanted to say hello! I am 30 and I have been banded since sept 10th of 2007. I am almost to my goal weight and I am looking for friends/support groups because I want to keep my weight off for good. If you are in the DFW area I would be thrilled to hear from you!

Hi Mandi! You must be so proud of yourself! I'm in McKinney. While I have a ways to go still, it's been a great journey so far.

Hi There! Yes, I am so proud of myself. You have already lost alot of weight yourself. Prior to being banded I wasn't able to keep the weight off. I was a yo-yo dieter and over the past year I have gone from my pre-op weight of 183lbs to 135. My goal is 120lbs and I have really cut my carbs so its now just started coming off slowly. Aunt Lucy do you attend any support groups. I am looking to start attending so that I can keep my motivation up and keep the weight off.

      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.
