New to Forum - Not losing



Recommended Posts

I just found this forum. This is my introduction here. I had lap band surgery almost two years ago. I have not really lost any significant weight in the last six or 8 months. I have really only lost about 60 pounds in 22 months. I am just not too sure what I am not or should be doing at this point. I do know that my husband and I travel a lot for work and pleasure. We eat out an awful lot but I try to make smart choices and I do pilates three days a week but I am still not losing.

It seems there are so many reasons that this could be happening. The best thing to do is to check with your surgeon and review everything that you're doing, etc. Maybe you need an adjustment in the fill, maybe you need to focus on Protein Shakes for a while...it just depends on what your body is doing and it seems to be very individual. I'd encourage you to check with your doctor to see if something's goofed up with the band or if perhaps you need to adjust something in whatever you're doing to lose and maintain weight. Just a thought...

      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?
