Hi! My name is Brigid and I am 34 years old. I was just banded on January 7th after a very long 5 month pre op surgical process! I am happy to finally have it done and look forward to re-gaining my life back! Hope to get to know y'all! ;)

Welcome! I am pretty new here myself and I was born and raised in the good ol ATX up until I was 17. Its always been my home though. Im so happy for you! How are things so far? I just got my surgery date yesterday for Feb 10th so assuming all my financial and medical ducks are in a row I should be good to go. Please feel free to contact me if you need to talk.;)

Thanks ash23! I hope everything goes well for you and that the date is set in stone for you real soon! I haven't been in ATX too long - just a couple of years. I came from Vegas so it is different! Hopefully I will be able to get out more real soon and enjoy what it has to offer! Feel free to ask any questions you may have - I may be new here but I am not far from having been banded so may have answers you may need! Good luck! ;)

Who did your surgery?

I went through SouthWest Bariatric and my surgeon was Dr. Stephen Clark and he was wonderful. It doesn't even look like I will have much scarring either.

Who is your surgeon?

      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.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
