Hello everyone! My name is LaToya and I am new to these forums.

I am currently in the process of getting the gastric band, I have my 1st appointment with my surgeon tomorrow.

I am both nervous and excited.

I am mainly interested in meeting with the Dietitian because I am a very picky eater and want to make sure that I will be sucessful.

If you want to reply---please feel free to do so and add your stats soI can see how sucessful you have been.

Date of Surger, Begining Weight and Current Weight.

Can't wait to hear from everyone!

LaToya, I am also new, had my surgery in Florida September 9, no problems. Starting weight 215, today 203, Friday i will be one week. Some of the weight loss his from the preop diet. I feel great had some pain mostly my shoulder first few days but now i'm good. So excited to begin this journey, i was nervous also, but my dr is the best and he was there all the way. There will be sacrafices, but they are ones that i am willing to make. I am 53 years old, and i feel like i am just starting a new life! I will be here for what ever you need, it is great to have support through such important decisions that we make with our lives. Way to go and you are never alone!

      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! 😞
