Any Future Banders In Reno Area?



Recommended Posts

We'll the band just seems like a lot of maintenance, and the by-pass seems like they play around with your insides to much , it almost seems to me that the sleeve it what I always wished I had. ( a smaller stomach ).

I originally wanted the sleeve because I've seen & heard so many success stories, but I became worried about not being able to take MS Meds. Good luck to you on your weight loss journey! Keep me posted how your progress is going!

By altering the stomach it also reduces the amount of nutrients your body can absorb. There are certain Ms meds I take that cannot be crushed & need to absorb slowly. Thankfully they are small enough to take with the band. Lot's of people online crush there meds or use liquid meds & do great after the sleeve/band. Some even stopped having to take meds. I would love the sleeve but unfortunately it's not going to work for me. Just make sure you bring it up on your next doctor visit.

      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! 😞
