Met with my lapband surgeon today



Recommended Posts

I went to see my surgeon today and I have restarted my process today and I am waiting to find out if all the testing I did last year will be good and I should be scheduled for my surgery with in the next month. I felt good today not nervous like I was last year. By starting my exercise plan and staying focused on my diet now this time it is easier, I am still nervous of the life change, but I am looking at the band strictly as a tool. I will loose the weight and I will use the band as a tool to help monitor my intake and to keep me focused. As much as this website can be good it can also be bad at times when you hear the negative, but the one thing we all have in common is our weight and that is what brings us together. as we loos the weight we are all on the journey together and here to support one another. I welcome all conversations so please feel free to email me anytime.

Congratulations on getting back on track. Obviously, you weren't ready for this last year. But by this time next year you'll be a whole new man. Good luck!

One thing to keep in mind about this forum, and those like it, is that the people who have questions or issues are the ones who post. Those people who aren't having any trouble rarely post, so we never see those folks. Take all these issues you see here with a grain of salt, and think of all those unknown invisible bandsters out living their lives with no problems. Chances are very good you won't have any problems at all.

Wishing you the best going forward.

Dave

      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! 😞
