:( Cool site.

I'm the same old Geezer as 'NotherGeezer, but most people think that says NorthernGeezer, so i'm giving up on that. But I'm still pretty old (55 at surgery, 56 now) for a wls patient, so I'll remain a Geezer.

My surgery was 15 October 2002 in Monterrey, Mexico, with Roberto Rumbaut Diaz. He is one of--I think--two or perhaps three banded wls doctors.

My progress WAS at about 2# per week, then I was unfilled :( by a doctor :P in Tijuana who "refilled" my band with a minimal amount of saline and nothing happened...for weeks and weeks and weeks. :( I was recently in Monterrey for a fill with Dr. Rumbaut and it appears that things will be improving. :D

I don't post my weight because I think BMI is the only relevant measure...so I was (at the highest) around 52, I was about 48 when banded and am currently around 39...no longer morbidly obese.

Thanks for the nice board.

Sue

I'm glad to see you here and I was one of the people who used to think you were NorthernGeezer! LOL That aside, I've always enjoyed your posts.

I didn't know about your filled then unfilled story. Wow....glad it's taking a turn for the better! Keep us updated.

Warmest wishes on your journey,

Annette in Colorado

      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?

      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! 😞
