Dhrguru...stop worrying about your husband...he is jealous and insecure about your weight loss...pay him no attention and stop looking for accolades..layout did this for you...your life and health.He sounds like he needs to get proactive about himself ....he is deliberately trying to make you feel bad...so his bruised ego can have the upper hand...give him your doctors's #...please do your thing....you are succeeding!

OMG Mrs.McButterpants What a guy!!!!Love him!!!!You are a lucky gal!!!!

Something about chicken with me...sometimes ok..other times...not good...rough...vomiting etc.This is commonplace with the band hoping that with the bypass it won't be this throwing up cycle.

I want to go on a plant based diet as soon as I get the revision....I like the 4 day vegan 4 days a week!!!Did you see a nutritionist for this plan or is it listed because I want to definitely look into it once I get this horrible band out and a revision to RNY....

Wow congratulations...60 pounds off??? that must feel great.In all my years struggling with this band I never achieved anywhere near 60 pounds off....mind you I need 100 pounds...you are on your way!!!!

Your age is no big whoop.YOU ARE TAKING CHARGE!!!!Thats what is important...get it done and live the rest of your life slimmer,healthy and actively happier...a sleek silver fox!Go for it!!!!

I have damage to my esophagus because of the band RNY for me.

Carol1965 This is fantastic.,,,this PCOS is stubborn but you are doing great....it's about the complete you!!!!You are cutting the medications out one by one,this is fantastic...I am inspired and hopeful.
