THANKS FOR ALL DA INFO AND YOUR INSIGHT ON THE SITUATION...ITS SUCH A HARD DECISION...THE REASON I AM CONSIDERING THE SLEEVE IS BECAUSE I WAS TOLD BY VARIOUS DOCTORS THAT THE LAP BAND WOULD NOT BE A GOOD CHOICE FOR SOMEONE WOULD A BMI AS HIGH AS MINES...AND AS FAR AS THE DANGERS I WOULD BE AT MORE RISK WITH ME BRING THIS SIZE WITH THE LAP BAND...SO EITHER WAY THE RISKS ARE EVEN FOR ME...I AM STILL SO CONFUSED...I GO TO A SLEEVE SEMINAR ON MONDAY...I WILL BE MAKING MY DECISION AFTER THAT I HOPE, AND WILL KEEP YOU POSTED...BUT THANK YOU SO MUCH....

OH YEA...AND LULU VERTICAL SLEEVE DOESN'T SOUND THE SAME...LOL :lol:

My BMI was 55 at my first consult. I thought my Dr would make me do a 3 week liquid diet before surgery but I only had to do a 2 week... and I lost 22 lbs in those 2 weeks.... Maybe your Dr. does something similar?

      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! 😞
