its been 3 1/2 months since surgery and i have lost 56lbs and im now 199! finally into the 100s. I hope to never see the 200s again! it feels amazing! with the lapband it took me a year to loose that much. feels so good to reach my first goal in such a short time! this is the best thing i ever did :)

Wow that is amazing! I had been looking into the lapband but my surgeon recommends gastric bypass. I am having a hard time wrapping my head around that...for some reason the lap band didnt scare me like the thought of gastric bypass. Glad you are having such good results.

Having a foreign object in me scares me. But it's whatever makes you comfortable. Also make sure your ins pays for band adjustment which is done many times. I've heard most don't.

If the ins covers the surgery they will cover the fills. But like i said ive had the band. Its not worth it. It was a much quicker n easier recovery. (back to work in less than a week) BUT u dont loose as much weight and its much easier to gain it back. My doc doesnt even do them anymore cuz so many ppl have had it revised to gastric.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
