Omg you look good😜

I'm looking in to get the band cuz I need my life back I hurt my back and had lots of work done to it. Indeed to loss 200lbs so if I can ask was it really hard?

Honestly? No, I don't believe it was hard. It took a lot of work and I had to change my eating habits drastically, but it wasn't hard. The more I lose the better I feel so that alone has always been incentive to continue on this journey and do the right thing.

If I can lose 200 pounds so can you :)

Best Wishes!

Missy, you are amazing! I think you have something special to have lost this much weight, let alone, the time period that you did. What an inspiration! I'm with you, losing the cane would have been great, but you also lost the weight - truly incredible. Thanks for sharing your beautiful story!

I don't mind and I appreciate it!

It's kinda funny because the naysayers in my life told me "Oh didn't get the Lap Band, you'll lose weight and suddenly look old and sick". To be honest, I was a little worried about it, too.

I do have more little wrinkles around my eyes and on my forehead, but people tell me all the time that I look a lot younger. Considering I'm about to turn 40 this summer, I'll take it! LOL!

      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... :(
