Just thouht I would go ahead and register here and say hello. I see LOTS of people here who I have gotten to know (passively or actively) on other boards.

I am always looking for good ideas and to share the journey with others.

I was banded by Dr Johnell in Colorado on 11/4/04. I have lost 30 pounds, but most of that was immediately post surgery. Since then, I have lost about 1 pound a week for the last couple of months.

I have had 4 fills, and am at about 1.7 as it was measured, and I am really just getting used to having restriction.

Hi Willo,

Welcome! I'm hoping to be banded by Dr. Johnell soon. I'm on week seven of waiting for insurance approval, so it's gotta come soon, right? I'm going nuts!

Anyway, I've been lurking at the Coloradobandsters group and have seen you there. I promise I will come out and say hello someday. I don't want to get too active until I know I'm actually having the surgery.

Later,

Chickadee

      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! 😞
