California Bandsters!



Recommended Posts

Good morning everyone. I started a new group and I'm hoping some of you will join. I started California Bandsters. I've noticed there are lots of people from the East Coast on here, but I haven't seen many from the West, specifically California. I'm hoping to find some "locals".

Have a great day!

:D

Good luck to you! I'm also just starting out. Just started my six month supervised diet and my surgeon is hoping I will be able to have the surgery by July...fingers crossed. :)

That is so awesome! Yes, he is so sweet and funny! I did a lot of research looking for a good bariatric doctor and after meeting him it's no wonder he is so well liked! After meeting him it only solidified for me that he is the surgeon I want to do my lap band. Waiting on my new insurance card to get here so I can give them a copy and get things going!

That is so cool :-) He put 5cc in my band at the time of surgery and I have yet to have a fill. I totally felt like I was in the green zone as soon as I started eating soft foods. Karen the nutritionist is pretty great too. I too did a lot of research and felt he was the best in the area. Good luck to you and keep in touch :)

      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... :(
