My husband and I went down to Burlingame, CA yesterday (about 65 miles from our home in Santa Rosa, CA) and met with Dr. Li for his initial consult. My hubby has been going back and forth between rny and lapband for a couple of months. Dr. Li laid all of the info out on both operations. I was sure Andrew (my husband) was going to choose the rny, but after a day to think everything over, he just called to tell me he has chosen to go the lapband route. I am so pleased. He knew I would support him either way, but deep-down I really wanted him to get the band. We have a friend who got a band a couple of years ago and has done a fantastic job of both losing the weight and keeping if off. I know that if she can do it, my husband can do it.

Now, on to all of the insurance nightmare. I am crossing my fingers for a good outcome.

I wanted to thank the people who have posted here and on spotlight - You are a continued inspiration to us. Andrew cited your progress as part of his decision to get the band. Bravo to you all!

      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?

      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! 😞
