Lost Over 100 Lbs!!!



Recommended Posts

Surgery 6/06, Dr. Spiegel in Houston. Very satisfied with results with minimal complications. I have had 2 fills and 1 unfill with the 9.75 band. Currently seems to be a little too lose but it allows me to eat more nutritionally and therefore is easier to maintain/build muscle while staying hydrated. It does require some will power but I always have the option of getting it tightened if I run into problems. This is a dream come true!

That is wonderful to hear about about! I am still trying to lose pre-op weight, I did a strict two week liquid liver shrinking diet but the 20$ scale I bought went haywire so now I am waiting for a much better WW scale from Amazon. But I am going back on the pre-op, without the added greens salad and extra oz's of chicken, just the strict pre-op diet for me from now on. My brother wants me to exercise at the Gym with him but I know If I sign up I will not go anyway, so best to workout with DVD's in the early morning.

Can you share your eating and exercise routine?

Regards.

Wow! Congrats to you!

My question: Did you lose steady or bounce around like I have done?

I was banded last April. 08 So far lost 66 lbs. My Dr. is pleased. Was a 18 now a 8/10. I have 20 more to lose till my goal. Trying to work out most days.

Please describe what you eat in a normal day.

Seems like I only eat a handful a day, but not losing.

Thanks!

      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.
