I'm just up the 57 from you. I was banded last August and will be 56 next month. I've already lost 60% of my excess wait. It's been a great journey. Wish you the best of luck

Hi, neighbor? I live in Buena Park, no far from you. I'm hoping to be banded around August. I hav Cigna, so I have to wait 6 months, but I've almost finished everything two more classes and some dr. Visits and I'll just be waiting. Good luck!

Hi, I am also kind of a neighbor, I live in Sherman Oaks. I was banded last week, 4/20/11 at Chapman Medical Center. It was far for me but it is the only place my insurance would cover. Dr. Milton Owens was my doctor. I feel pretty good except for the fact I am really hungry and tired of sweet things. Hope you do well. The surgery wasn't as bad as I thought, but these few days are. I admit I feel better every day!! Good Luck!!:P

I am on the pre-op diet and it is a struggle. Funny before this I didn't eat but 1 full meal a day and Dunkin Donuts coffee and bagel for Breakfast or lunch LOVE my Carbs!!!! Now that I have to eat one meal a day I want MORE lol. Are you going home the same day? My Doctor requires you to stay in the hospital overnight so I will be without my lap top, I'm a home cruise agent so I can't afford to go on a shared network with the rest of the hospital, I need to protect my clients info. I will let everyone know how I made out when I get home on the 5th. Good luck on your surgery as well and you also keep us posted. :)

      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! 😞
