Banded 11/13/07....STUCK at current loss!!!



Recommended Posts

I need helpful suggestions and support. My surgery was last year and I am stuck at a weight loss of about 50 lbs. I need to lose another 80-90 lbs. I am very discouraged and having trouble getting motivated to try harder. I lost more weight BEFORE the surgery than I have after???? Why in the world did I go through all this if this is all there is? I have a bad knee which limits me somewhat on exercise other than walking and some strength training. I was laid off from my job in June and am struggling to find work. There is a lot on my plate, no pun intended. I need help!!!!! I need hope!!!!!!:thumbup:

How many fills have you had? I know for me after 3 fills now, I am just getting to know my full feeling. And I can tell you, I think mine halted because I was eating too much, even though my body wasn't telling me I was full yet.:thumbup:

      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?
