Nuther newbie question...



Recommended Posts

When did this forum begin? Because I'd like to know the experience of a bander who has had their band for years and years.

The owner of this board has been banded for at least 2 years I know of for sure, but he doesn't post that often. He has a day job! LOL!!

There are bandsters on here that have been banded for 3 years that post often. I was banded for 18 months.

So there are lots of good reference people on this board in various stages of banding.

Mae's a great site to read, if you're just looking for a long-term success story: http://www.myagb.homestead.com/index.html -- she makes me excited!

If you want advice from someone banded for a long time, perhaps start a thread "Looking for advice from someone banded 2+ years ago" or "Experienced bandster advice needed". They're out there, you just have to find 'em! :confused: I've seen some that are 5+ years, I think one was 10 (don't quote me on that). There's a bunch that are 2+ years.

When you're looking at someone's post, check out their signature... it often has their band date (mine is 10 days ago, lol). :confused: And in the top right corner of the name portion of their post is their join date... some have been hanging out here a LONG time! :)

Good luck!

      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! 😞
