100 Pound Milestone - and then some!



Recommended Posts

I'm really excited today because I reached my 100 pound milestone since starting my pre-op diet in April! I lost 25 pounds on the pre-op diet before my surgery, and since the surgery I have lost a total of 80 POUNDS!!! My surgery was June 8th. I have 2cc's in my 10 cc band. That was put in during surgery, and I haven't had a fill yet.

Not only did I meet the 100 pound goal, but it's a 105 pound loss!! I lost 6 pounds this week :D

I am just completely thrilled, and really proud of myself! I never imagined that I would get to twoderville... and I'm on my way to onederland! I was stuck for so long, and this band has been exactly what I needed to kickstart my health into gear.

I wanted to thank everyone on this forum for being so wonderful and supportive, and for all of the great advice, camaraderie and support that you all have given me on my journey so far!

Just 89 more pounds to go!!!!!!!!

YAY!!!

I'll post a pic later today after I take a shower. :)

It's stories like this that make me glad my insurance wouldn't cover the sleeve. I really hope I can work the band as well as you do. I'm getting the band on Monday and I'm extremely nervous but reading this helps. :) Thanks for posting!

      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
