Hi Kaylene,

And thanks again for your details on Dr.Nottle, he was fantastic.

He checked my band and removed 3 (ml?) so i now have nothing in my band.

He asked me to have a x-ray but i found out a couple of days later i'm pregnant so that's not going to happen.

I'm seeing him again tomorrow as my problem may of been to much in the band? since removal i can eat a large plate of food (and steak!) and drink at the same time.....must say it has been luxury, but i don't want to get to porky.

Not sure if lap bands effect pregnancy or not?

Thanks for asking about me, it's very sweet of you.

Hope you have a lovely week.

Hi Kaylene, I am interested in your post about dr nottle not doing day surgery any more. Which hospital were you booked at for the day surgery? I know he is changing from the western to the alfred but thought he only did days at williamstown. my d i l is on the waiting list for williamstown so will be anxiously waiting to read your reply.

thanks for your reply kaylene. that is sad, when d i l last phoned the office she was told she would definately be done this year, looks like they might have been giving her false hope.

      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! 😞
