Allow me to add my congratulations as well. I was banded 3/25/08 and have lost 103 lbs. Sounds like you are well on your way to doing the same. You go girl! Proof that the band works if you use it properly. Keep up the good work.

Do you count your calories?

How much exercise do you do?

Can you tell me what has been the hardest thing for you to deal with and how you have overcome it?

Tina I am so happy for you. You found the Band 50 years sooner than I did and we both are doing very well.

Some advice form the good habits now at a very young age you know what the are don't you?

Make exercise a habit.

Eat only high quality food.< /p>

And so on

Live a happy health life food does not have to rule us.

Good Luck

      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.
