banded 5 June 09 - Dr Dolan



Recommended Posts

Hi all

I'm new to the site. I was banded on 5th of June 2009 at Glengarry Hospital, by Dr Dolan.

I started off at 125 kilo and hope to get down to 75 kilo.

I'd love to hear from anyone who has some good advice and ideas to help me along. Also anyone from Perth, who wants to chat.:tongue_smilie:

Wow you have lost so much already. Good for you. I feel my loss is too slow, but then I'm very impaitent. I guess after I've had the fill I won't feel so hungry and deprived. I'm still thrilled to actually be eating some normal food again and find that I'm automatically going for the healthy choice. I hope I stick with that. Not to say I don't crave some chocolate of something "naughty" once in a while.

I have my next appointment with Dr Dolan on Monday, so I'm looking forward to seeing what happens next (hopefully the fill). Got to up my exercise a litte more, but the wet weather and another cold hasn't helped. Just quick walks with the kids and dog and the exercise bike at the moment. Going to try Water aerobics on a Tuesday night at the local heated pool.

Are you doing much exercise and if so what, would love some ideas.

      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.
