I'm having the Band over Bypass surgery and very excited and nervous...my job this week and next is to stop reading stuff on the net. Making me have a bit of cold feet.

Welcome NewMe, I feel this is the best decision I've made to get healthy. I've been banded for about 3 weeks, and I only wish I'd done it sooner. Congrats on your decision and Best Wishes to successful banding, weight loss and better health. :)

Gastro, Congrats to you on your decision. Why be nervous, you had Gastric Bypass already, you can do this! Take the professional advice of your doctor, and address your concerns to him or her, that's where your best advice will come from. Best wishes to you, and keep us updated on how you're doing.

Hi Newme

I had my band just over 2 weeks ago. I am so glad I have had it. I feel it will be life changing. Being in control for once and hopefully losing weight and not putting it back on ! like I have done a million times.

I am feeling so much better already and am at a weight that I haven't seen in years.

Good Luck in your journey :) x

      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?
