I Hit My Goal!!!!



Recommended Posts

You Rock!...Now give me the dirt...

I too am Canadian. I am not sure how many of us there are on this site. Where did you get your surgery and who was your surgeon? Were you self pay or insurance. HOW WAS IT... the surgery the life, did you ever question your decision, did you at any point gain any weight back?

I need to know!!!! I am set for surgery on March 12 but am having second thoughts. I weigh 202 with a goal of 140. Looking at the diet requirements it seems to me that if I can do the diet I can lose the weight without the band?!?!?! P.S. $16,000 is the cost to me plus about $2,000 for incidentals to get to and stay in Toronto. this is huge money for my family.... DO YOU CREDIT YOUR SUCCESS TO THE BAND or simply hard work.

That is fantastic news. I'm newly banded 7 months and have hit the 40 lbs range. I have 40 more to go with a stretch goal of 65. I love my band. You've done great!

      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! 😞
