You look GREAT! You give me hope!

Congrats to you! I can't wait to get my date its been 13 months since I started this process. I'm just waiting on my surgeon to give me my date!

Padlrd I'll be praying for you, but I'm sure everything will be fine! Keep us posted.

Monkey you look great! I can really see the weight loss.

I'm band to bypass too. I should be having my surgery in May or June. I can't wait to have the band removed. I had my surgery in 2007 only lost 35 pounds but managed to gain back 70. I'm the heaviest I've ever been and can't wait to get to a healthy weight. I'm wondering if when the band is removed and I have the rny will it feel the same meaning will I feel like I'm suffocating? Will my new stomach feel uncomfortable like my port does? Will I be able to lay on my side without pain? Most important will I finally feel restriction after eating a half of cup of food? My Mom had rny in 1992 and has done a great job keeping her weight off. She doesn't eat a lot and will often forget a meal. When she wants to lose more weight she simply exercises and the pounds seem to melt away! She's never sick. And often says she would do it all over again. Please share any advice with us that are soon to be banded that may help us through this. Best luck to you all!????????

Adorable! I understand enjoy every moment!

Ok Cecilia and Soccermom I just purchased the Zombie Run app. I'm not quite ready to use it yet but I'm going to work my way up to it. I'll say I. About 2 to 3 weeks I'll be ready. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you all! He is the same surgeon that did my lap band. I can't say that I researched him thoroughly the first time. He did my step moms surgery so I went to him. My thing is he should have told me this in the beginning especially after I had to do a 12 month program. I'm looking for a new Dr. Now.

Ok so my insurance company has approved the revision from band to bypass now the Dr office is talking about having a committee hearing at which time they will decide if I need more nutritionist consults, more psych evals or what. I'm pissed now because I think they are going to say I need to do more. I've already done the one year program with my insurance company which included bi weekly meetings and weight loss programs. Should I start looking for another Dr?

Congrats! Welcome to onederland!

I can really see the difference. You are doing good! Congrats! I don't know why my computer is doing the underline.

looking good!

that's a beautiful story and Jerzigirl is one lucky woman! Having unconditional love and a great support system is terrific! So when you do find that special someone you hold on to them!

May I ask why are you having a revision from the sleeve?

I like your confidence!

I believe my surgery will be in MY but I'm hoping for April. I will be finished my 12 month ins requirement on April 17th so it's anytime after that. Good luck to you all. I'll keep u posted.

Congrats! I'm so happy for you! Let us know when u get your date!

That's a good one! Lol! I like it! I may even have to use it.
