Hi newbie here.... banded ny



Recommended Posts

Hi

I had myself banded 2 years ago, It was great lost 50 lbs never had a fill but had a mamo... and they thought i had cancer which i did not... well the testing took close to 6 months... the anxiety gave me somehitng that i do not want to post...bloody problem...finally they said i was ok... but had to take care of the problem... then had other family issues.

Well, would have gone back to doctor and told him but I was so ashamed and one family member told me I was fatter than before,,,b&tch but should have listened to my heart,

MY DH who says he is happy that I am banded just said you gained...was not thrilled when i went back..

So, went back last week and already lost 5 lbs....so whose the happy camper.

My goal is to lose 25 lbs by the 18th when i visit my lapband doctor (Dr Richard Pucci) becasue then I will be at the point where i was before I fell off the wagon.

Please note that during that time I did watch what I ate and did not drink the Water NOR did not exercise...the simple rule is what goes in plus calories burned equal less fluff,,,lol

I am now 298 weighing in at the support group...it is possible that the scale is off...so lets say 300 lbs,

My personal goal is 180 lbs because I am tall, and 54 years young. At that time, I can see if I need more to loose.

I am married to my Dh, my soul mate and we have a 16 year old son. Presently, I have high blood pressure, asthma, sleep apnea...so I guess a mess.

WAIt for the day when my boody is not following me :blushing:

      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.
