well, hub found this pic of me at christmas, 2011 and i had to do a side by side face...i had my surgery june 2012..........and this picture in black was me yesterday (17 months later)

did i even have a neck?

hard to believe that was me..but that is me

well, for any larger BMI person seeing this, please believe that you CAN have this surgery and it WILL work.....be patient and stop worrying about what you cant control..

you can control your food choices and if you exercise or not...let the band do the rest...

Beautiful my friend... just beautiful.

now dont know about that........but def a change in my face....one little thing, like clothes being too big or going down a size or noticing a older picture vs a new one, can make ones mind go heck yeah i got this and keep them keeping on.....

why i posted it....to show the bigger BMI's that yeah, it can be done....

there is so many bypass/sleeve people on the band threads and i want the ones

who got the band to see, the band works..

not just me but jim or missy or aj or floridays and many many many more...or YOU go.......its a GREAT thing

add patient compliance to the band and whoop .....WATCH OUT

      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! 😞
