I am from Akron, Ohio, where I was first banded in January of 2009 ( I think--I'm vague about dates). I lost without regaining over 60 pounds and cut my insulin, Lasix, and BP meds in half, but early this year started vomiting a lot. My GI doctor ordered upper GI work and said that my band had slipped. I went to my original surgeon, who removed my fill an ordered a second GI series, then announced that the band had not slipped, it had just repositioned itself. He gave me several options. I chose to have him remove the band and replace it, which he did on July 29. He also found a hiatal hernia. Between removal of the band and port, inserting new band and port, and fixing the hernia,I was in pain--more pain than when I;ve had toes amputated. Fortunately he kept me in the hospital 2 nights because I am an old woman who lives alone. Although I had requested that the nutritionist talk to me and give me all the information she would have given if I were a newbie, she hasn't talked to me yet; therefore, I am pretty dependent on the new lapband book. I start my mushies tomorrow. Yippee! I am delighted to have found this web site. I'd like to lose 15 or 20 pounds more, but we'll see..

      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.

      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! 😞
