Hi,

My name is Mo and I've been considering LB for about 2 years now. Lately I've been thinking this may be a good option for me. I have about 135lbs to lose and I think this will be an effective tool to reach that goal. I've been dieting for years and i'm frustrated (with myself).

I went to seminar last night..it was really good.

I plan on having a consultation soon...This is such a big decision for me..i'll be lurking around here for a while ..so I just wanted to say hi!

Thanks!

Hi Mo!

Good luck with your decision! I was banded a year ago and have had great results.

Feel free to asks lots of questions and get as much information as possible.

Hi Mo!

I had also thought about the band for about 2 yrs before I decided this is what I want to do. I lurked around this forum and looked up as much info as I could before I decided to take the plunge and go to a seminar. The doctor I chose no longer has a seminar, but he has a one on one and doesn't charge for that first consultation. Like you, I have a lot to lose (about 145 lbs) and this is the first time I have ever felt like I can do this. I don't have my band, yet, but the journey started with the first consult. I hope we can both document a successful journey. Good Luck!

      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...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
