I'm not 20, ahhh to be 20 again....I digress, just wanted to say congrats on taking charge of your weight at such an early age. I wish I would have started sooner.

Congrats! Wish I, too, would have started sooner. I'm 33 and now I feel 20! No regrets. Enjoy your new life. =)

I haven't been banded yet. I'm on my six month diet right now. Hopefully I'll have my surgery early this summer...fingers crossed.

It is worth the proceeds. I wish I had considered it earlier in life!

It wasn't going as well as I'd hoped. I lost 25 pounds but then I stopped losing and I didn't have any restriction. But I just got my second fill and I am already feeling the difference. I have restriction and I'm losing weight :) don't worry about the failures...I freaked myself out reading those. There are so many successes. And we're both young and I have a feeling the odds are in our favor because of it ;)

It seems like that's a common trend. Losing about 25 lbs then a small plateau until the next fill. Do you work out? How strict is your diet? Sorry... Lots of questions :)

      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! 😞
