I chose lapband with plication over bypass because I wanted to lose weight and keep it off with out the great risks associated with bypass. I'm also only 21, so reversible was very important. I wanted to be back at work and on my feet very quickly as well.

Jdn9119 I had the same reasons... Reversible was SO important and also pregnancy... I want more children I needed to know that I could get the necessary calories and nutrients with pregnancy... So those were my reasons (and it's less invasive)

You should look into band with plication- I'm having that and it's similar to the sleeve but reversible

Meeting with my surgeon on July 9th to go over all my test results. I too feel as if I am at a pre qualification appt every other day! But I'm ok with it, I know going in to this that my body can endure the surgery. I am excited and nervous like everyone else here, but I am not second guessing this decision any more.

It is time, time for a change, time to regain my health. Aug 5 th can't come soon enough!

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
