Cancer Patients With Lapband?



Recommended Posts

i know most people are like what?? cancer patients don't need weightloss surgery? uh, ya huh,some do...

here's the deal I was scheduled with my hubby to have lapband surgery back in march 2010 but life had different plans for me, in dec 2009 i was diagnosed with a brain tumor and had tohave emergency surgery to have it removed, then in jan 2010 2 wks after brain tumor removal surgery dr told me it was the big C WORD....that i only had 4-6months...

long story short GOD IS ON THE THRONE AND STILL IN THE MIRACLE BUSINESS SO I AM STILL HERE, JUST LIKE I TOLD THE ONCOLOGIST I WOULD BE...

ANYWAY finally after doing chemo/radiation and everything else under the sun in 2010, i was given the go ahead for lapband surgery in jan 2011, since then i have only lost right at 48-50lbs,

discouraged is not even close to how i felt, i guess since the hubby lost 100lbs in his first year i just naturally thought i would too, NOT....

i don't pig out by any means, but still have plateaued off and have been at this weight for over 8 months...

so i guess i am going to start all over and try to get another fill, I have only had 2 but already get stuck if i eat something too fast or just happen to not get it chewed up good enough... anyway not sure why i posted maybe just to get it out in the open and for me to be convince myself i'm gonna start over...

anyway thanks for listening

      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! 😞
