Hello,

I am new to lapbandtalk.com, July 6th will be my 6th month anniversary of my banding. I have not had that much success with my weight loss and have had some problems. Searching for support I came across talkband.com. I hope that it will be a great tool for support and success. I am open to any advice and suggestions that anyone may have. I hope that I may be of some support as well.

Hello Everyone,

I hope that you are all doing well.

I'm trying to get back into eating right. I had a couple of bad days of food choices with the holiday weekend. I work at a hospital and everyone brought in food to Celebrate the 4th and of course nothing was healthy. (Funny since we are all in the nursing field and have a bariatric center in the hospital).

I am going back to the Dr. on the 15th to have some of my Fluid put back in. I had to have 2ml removed 2 1/2 weeks ago after a bad migrain. I had severe vomiting that put some serious stress on my band to the point I couldn't even drink Water. Feeling much better now.

I have actually been more suscessful losing weight since they took some of the Fluid out? Has anyone else lost weight after having fluid removed?

Once again thanks for the replies and I look forward to talking to everyone.

Ronda

      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.
