From first consult to surgery..
kah1213 replied to charlibell's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had what felt like 1000 appointments. I tried to go through insurance, but was denied, so I ended up being self-pay. I had to see a pulmonary doc, psych, nutritionist, endochrinologist, heart doc...I think that's it. -
Anyone else losing weight very slowly or not at all like me?
kah1213 replied to Harrier's Woman's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had a few plateaus along the way, but I just kept at it. It's totally normal. I've lost 50lbs ...20 more until initial goal and 30 more to my "dream goal." Ha -

I ran my first 15k (9.3 miles) last weekend. I definitely couldn't have done it 7 months ago before banding! -

I Don't Want To Tell Anyone I'm Considering Lapband

I told people at work I had my gall bladder out. Lol. I'm losing weight slow and steady so no one really says anything. Ps I only told 2 people about the surgery. -
I'm also in the city. After surgery I literally walked around my apartment to help with the gas. I made 1 outside trip to Duane Reade to pick up my meds, but otherwise I stayed in for the first 3 days.

Discomfort from stuck episode

I take those fiber gummies each day and that helps. Also, make sure you're drinking enough water.

I'm 5'6" and my doc didn't give me a goal. I set an ultimate pie in the sky goal at 135, but I'm setting mini goals along the way. Next goal: 160. It's coming off very, very slow...but I'm headed in the right direction.

Amazing!!!! Congrats

6 months! -

He doesn't do the fills. His PA does them, but you'll see him for your 1st post op appt (1 week after surgery). Garber was great though. Before surgery I had emailed him several times and he always replied quickly. I didn't have to do a pre op diet. I just had to be on Clear liquids the day before. However, I did put myself on a diet the week before surgery anyway. Good luck to you!
