It's 2 weeks yesterday since the operation. I spent 6 nights in hospital. This was my choice though. My dr was happy to let me stay the extra day. He usually says 4 -5 days.
I started a new post 'string' is that the word about Mind - Space and Freedom From. I'll try and find it and add it in. Basically it's about the fact that I had this moment - on the Wednesday a week after the operation and I'd been out of hospital only a day and a half - of elation - that I was free from thinking about food all the time, from the guilt of overeating to the shame of my size even though I had a 'good' front to fool people I was confident - even fooled myself some of the time.
Gastric band Dec 2009 128 Kilos
2012 Got down to 107 then had to have the port replaced due to a leak
Never really got it working again well.
Had suspected thyroid trouble - used homeopathy treatment - went down to 99 kilos. Went on grain free diet for a year, no milk. Got down to 89 kilos.
Last two years with no restriction in the band I had great difficulty getting food down - no cause found using gastroscopy
Had band removed July 2015. Had single anastomosis gastric sleeve with gastric bypass (Omega Loop)Jan 19, 2016.
Went into hospital at 114.8k now 108.8.
BUT AS I SAID BEFORE it's about the head space not continually thinking about food etc that has been the most amazing discovery!

Hi my name's Eve. I live in Australia and seems most of this is American - though I did grow up in Calif. I can't advise you yes or no except to get you to ask yourself this question....what can I gain from saying yes, and what can I lose from saying yes?
Fold a piece of paper down and the middle and do the pros and cons and you're likely to get the answer from you're heart not your head. Good luck I've had a gastric band and waiting to have an Omega Loop on Jan 19 - YEA only 7 weeks to go.

Hi, I've had the band removed 3 months ago and will be having the Omega Loop surgery mid Jan 16 so I'll be interested in seeing your continued progress. Removal of loop 110kilos Now 114. Trying to lose again before op in Jan. Eve

hi elinor! its Tristan again! just jumped over hoping some of you made it over here for some good availability for questions and answers! so glad you did! you all have been very helpful over there on FB. Its sooooo GREAT to get so many questions answered! I am FULL of them, as you have seen!

Hi All, Trevor here from Australia
I had Lapland surgery in early 2010, I had good success with weight loss, but had lots of band complications, so I had a mini gastric bypass one week ago yesterday, currently I am not too heavy, I am weighing in at 112kgs (247lbs) just before the surgery last week, I had been down to 92 kgs (203lbs), I was at 104 kgs (224lbs) before the band was removed 3 months ago
I am looking forward to continuing the journey but with a different route
