Just wanted to write a little Thank You for your great work. I am excited for my weight loss journey and life style change. Couldn't have done this without you in our local area. I also feel very lucky to be part of a well ran group that you have at your facility.

Dr. Fox also did my band. I had surgery on May 8, 2009 and have lost 70 lbs.

I honestly believe that the main reason the band is working is because I live in the same town as my surgeon. The monthly adjustments have been crucial for me. My body is temper-mental and only allows .25 cc's per fill. My stomach swells instantly and I can't get the Water down if it's any more than that at a time. So, the weight loss may seem slow, but then I think, "Oh my gosh! I've lost SEVENTY lbs!!" That's 70 packages of butter laying out on my kitchen counter. That's a lot of pounds!

I like that he explains everything in full detail. I tell him in my words what I've been feeling like, and then he tells me in scientific and medical terms why I have felt those things, and offers suggestions for the future.

I had forgotten that he offers a support group meeting once a month. I'd really like to start attending, so I think I'll call the office to find out when and where they are. I still haven't met many banded patients in the area, so I think it will be good to find some. :)

Best of luck!

Hi Redfoxyroxy--

I'm also from Yakima and still in the "question" stage of all this. My brother weighed 340lbs, had gastric by-pass, over a year ago, now is at 220lbs. I'm at 272lbs, and was at 276lbs 3 weeks ago, so I would like to loose 70lbs. 200lbs would be a good weight fo me.

I still need to find out 1.Am I too old? 2.Am I not heavy enough? etc.,etc. I still have a lot of questions, but will get there. I was so happy

to find a "chat" page on line. I'd love to hear about your success story.

RayO.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
