Surgery date 8-9-10 !!!! soooo excited !!!!!



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone...i am new here....my surgery date is scheduled for 8-9-10.....i am very excited !!!!

I had two questions:

1. I have to choose between the Lap-Band and the Realize Band....and I still havnt made my choice....I would like the better one all around but which has a port that shows the least? I figured I would ask first hand experience...

2. How many days is the clear liquid diet? then how many days are you on the full liquid until you can go to soft foods?

Any comments or suggestions are welcome !!! Thanks everyone !!! and again im super excited to start my new journey !!! :unsure::w00t::unsure::w00t:

I fellow August Bander, I just found out that I was approved and my surgery date is Aug 20th.

I'm personally doing the "Lap-Band"; no real reason why, it's just the product my doctor uses and he's well respected here in Metro Atlanta.

Let's stay in touch as we journey forward to our NEW selves !!!!

      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! 😞
