That is not too far....I know there is a large bariatric community in Tampa.

Find a good surgeon and listen to all of your optons...

I wish I would have done this at a much earlier age. Take control now if you can.

I will help in anyway I can.

I need some support my pcp is not listning to me

I hear you. My doctor feels I'm not losing fast enough. I have lost 55 lbs since Dec. my pre-op diet was on Dec 14th and my surgery date was 12/28/12. I am thrilled with the loss but I don't think my PCP has any concept of how the Lapband works. He feels I should have lost 90 lbs by now. I feel slow and steady wins the race.

      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! 😞
