One year ago, I weighed 80 pounds more



Recommended Posts

I am so much happier now - slow but sure, the weight is coming off. I love my band.

Happy anniversary, Lap Band.

Great for you Weas! I see a lotta people out here that are upset because they aren't losing as fast as they think they should. But as life-time dieters we need to remember that it is not just what we are losing, but what we are not gaining! I would be thrilled to be down 80 in a year. I would be even more thrilled to know I hadn't gained 20, 30, 40 or 5o in that same amount of time.

Happy bandiversary to you! And I'd lift 80 drinks in your honor if they wouldn't make me absolutely miserable! :eek:

Wow 80 lbs in 1 year. That is awesome!!! Congrats. At the time you are losing 1-2 lbs a week doesn't seem like much but it sure does add up at the end of the year.

That is so amazing! I am totally impressed by you! :eek:

Also, how has the weight loss gone as you've gotten closer to goal? Are you still losing 1-2 lbs / week, or has it slowed down?

Congrats -- and happy bandiversary!

Catherine

      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?
