Hi Everybody. I found the site on one of the bandster lists. Thanks Alex! Looks great!

My name is Vicki. I am 45, and one of those overweight people all my life. I was banded 5/15/03 and have lost a total of 37 pounds (including before surgery). I had my first fill a couple of days ago and can feel some restriction.

I am a nurse anesthetist (put people to sleep and wake them up! for surgery.) I love my job.

I have three beautiful girls, all adopted. Two are from China. The oldest is 7, and the youngest is 2.

I have been married for 20 years, and my husband has a weight problem too. I asked him today if he would consider getting a band, and his response was "I am not there yet." So, we will see. He has noticed that I am losing weight, however!

My numbers, as we do on bandsters and smartbandsters:

260/223/145.

My surgery was done by Dr. Blair Faulkner, Brandon MS.

I am looking forward to this web site!

Vicki

      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! 😞
