Surgery Was A Success!!!!



Recommended Posts

I am not sure what plication is. I will google it and get back to you!

And by restriction I mean restricted foods... No getting stuck, no pbing, I don't know. I'm talking to my surgeon today hopefully I will make a decision! It's less invasive like the band but hasn't been aroun as long...

Ya. Maintaining the weight loss is the hardest for me. I kinda feel like the restrictions to our diet will be minimal once we achieve "goal" weight. But it's gonna be a long journey for me to get there cuz I need to lose about 130lbs! Lol. I wish you the best in what ever decision you make. Keep us posted.

Thank you for replying. Right now I need all the encouragement and positive feedback I can get!

Well we had the big talk! I am decided! Plication it is! The band is great too, but for the above reasons I chose plication. Also the dr who would have done my fills lives 2 hrs away ( I'm from a small town). So I was worried I I ever needed a emerg unfill what would I do?? So there it is... Honestly I'm excited and relieved that I made a decision!

The lapband forum is way better than the plication one though and there are some wonderful people on here so I am still gonna creep lol

I'm doing quite well, still a little pain/discomfort where my port is, but other than that I'm doing ok. I really don't have much of an appetite, I still drink broth, I'm on sherbet now.

      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... :(
