I have my final appontment with Dr. Nguyen on Aug. 28. I will probably get my band in September. How did you like him as a surgeon? Do you have any issues with your band.I posted a thread for anyone who had surgery with him but no one responded so I started to worry about his skill at the lap band. I know he has trained Dr. Paya and Dr. Naim who were both on Dr. 90210.

Hi there!

well, I think Dr. Nguyen is great! I've had some major set backs though, not his fault at all. I got banded on 3/12/07. First my port was tilted and he had to go in and move it. Then a few weeks later that new port started to get infected. So now I have no port and just the band around. I haven't been able to get a fill yet. I get my new port at the beginning of Sept. But so far I've lost 41 lbs.

Good luck!!! Are you going to the meetings at UCI? Maybe I'll meet you there. Our next one is on the 21st.

Hello Sandy,

I am going to the meeting on the 21st!!!!!!!!!!! It will be really great to meet you in person. Why was your port tilted? Did the stitches come loose?

No, Dr. Nguyen thinks it might have happened when I was still healing. There's really no reason why it happened. I'll tell you more in detail when I see you at the meeting. Some of us from lapbandtalk.com are getting together, are you joining us? We're getting together in Huntington Beach. http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f26/cali-bandsters-unite-8430/ This link will tell you more about the meeting in Huntington Beach.

Hello Sandy,

Unfortunately I can't make it to the Huntington Beach Party but I will be at the support group on Tuesday. I can't wait to meet you.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      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! 😞
