JuneBugs 2008 - it's been a year and a half, how ya doin?



Recommended Posts

Are there still any June '08 BUgs out there? It's been a year and a half almost since out band dates. Would love to hear from everyone and how they are doing!

For me I hit my goal just about at the one year out mark and I've been maintaining ever since. I used to hate shopping but I love it now, it's so much more fun looking for sizes 8's & 10's than it was 24's 26's.

I am a little nervous about the holiday season coming up and maintainance, but I lost last holiday season I should be able to handle maintainance I hope.

Since banding surgery I have had my gall bladder out, and then in Oct of this year I had my knee replaced and now in a few weeks I am getting the other knee replaced. That's my biggest disappointment with the band and it's not the band's fault. I was so hoping as I lost weight my knees would get better. But, alas, I damaged them too much. So I am looking as the knees completing my transformation. I love being more active now and hated that my knees held me back. Plastic surgery? I'd love it but after 2 knees, I just won't have the funds for a long time for it. The excess skin isn't too bad. My stomach is fine it's my legs and droopy girls that bug me the most.

So how you doing? There were a couple hundred Junebugs at one point. Come back and check in!

      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?
