I could not go below a BMI of 40. We decided that if I did, I could put on my jacket and shoes to weigh. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App

I had a 20 year band removed and converted to bypass at the same time. Band had adheared to my liver. I was not a candidate for sleeve due to the band eroding my stomach and adhering to the surrounding organs. Took over 3 hours for surgery but it was an easy recovery.

I go out every Friday w a group of friends. What I enjoy is fitting in these size 12 jeans. Lol...I seriously don't miss the frantic noshing that goes on at the table. I have given up beef, so I'll have a salad with chicken or bean Soup. Plus I've discovered a terrific stand in for margaritas. Deep Eddy's lemonade vodka and Water w a twist of lime. Delish. The positive so outweighs the negatives;) Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App

My doctor said not to focus on a weight. Instead focus on a clothing size. She said that excess skin can be the reason you might not achieve the number on the scale. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App

Dr. Primomo and his assistant are the best. I had an old Molina band that was placed in 1996. It had eroded my stomach and adhered to my spleen and liver. My surgery lasted almost 4 hours. Dr. Primomo was able to get the band out and revise to RNY. Surgery was on a Wednesday. I came home on Friday and cooked dinner for my family on Sunday and trimmed my rose bushes. Lol....
