Howdy fellow Bandsters and wanna-be's (like me).

I figured now would be a good time to make some friends that share some of the same challenges.

Me: 39 year OLD man.. My slowly increasing weight is dragging my life down and making me feel older than my years. I am now determined to make my 40th b-day in August a good one. I can tell that I have some developing health issues that if I get serious now I can reverse, or I can ignore them and leave before my time.

My wife was banded several months ago and to date has had no ill effects, although they are still toying with her fills to get her losing weight.

I am hoping to make some new friends here and share some stories, good and bad. I think the thing I am most NOT looking forward to is being put under GA. I've never had surgery. Other than that I am soooo looking forward to it. I might miss bikini season for 07, but watch out 08!! :party:

Welcome to the site, I also live in Austin, due to be banded Jan. 15th with Dr.Fass from SW, being done at St.David's. You're the first person I've seen on here that is also from Austin. This site has been very informative. I try to check it out daily.

Hey Patsy..

Best of luck to you!

I chose Dr Clark based on what my wife said. She met him and loved him.. I went to the seminar at St D's and loved him too. I am using Seton on 38th myself. The staff there were WONDERFUL when Amy went in, so I am following her path.

I look forward to hearing how things work out for you.

Mike

technically I live in Cedar Park, but who knows where that is ;-)

HI Mike,

I'm using St.David's because I am a St.David's employee and they accept what our insurance pays and there isn't suppose to be any charge for us employees. I'll see if it's true when it's over and done with and the bills start coming in.

Just a side note, I have 2 sons and they are both named Mike, my dog's name is Amy. lol and that's the truth!

AND I certainly know where Cedar Park is, I live in Leander.

      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?

      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
