I don't know, though, it might be funny working with a surgeon who saw me naked!! HA HA!!

:unsure::lol: I wondered if I was the only person who thought of that. Everytime I have to see him, I think of the fact that he knows what I looked like naked!;)

Are any of you attending the monthly support meetings at GBI? I have been to all but one of them (on vacation in March) since I was banded.

By the way, the "black headed chick" is Tiffany. :-)

I wasn't sure. I forget the names of the people up there. I kind of thought Tiffany was the other nurse. I like her alot(the other nurse) - I think she has a really good demeanor.

I thought I spotted someone handsome and remarkably intelligent while I was there.

I am so excited that I have lost a total of 58 lbs. as of today. I had a fill today and had never been more ready.

how is everyone else doing?

I was trying to pay attention to the names of the people Brooke was calling back. What is your name punkster?

When I got my fill, Brooke said on a scale of 1-10, I have a fill of three. I think it was her way of saying she put in 3 cc's. I know their policy about telling patients how much fill they have.

That is great about your fill and your weight loss. I am so ready for my fill. I went from having some restriction to being wide open. I have been starving from morning to night. The only thing that is saving me is I don't take anything extra to work with me to eat. If I did, I would be snacking all day.:thumbup:

I am really jealous of you all! I had surgery before most of you, but everyone has lost more than me!

You have done great! I just weighed a lot more than you at the start. Once I hit your initial BMI, the weight loss slowed down dramatically.

Yea, that's what a lot of people said. I also didn't have to do a preop diet like most of you did. I was hoping to be below 200 by now, but I have been stuck the last few weeks.

Im sorry you are feeling bad carriec. i definitely have more than you to lose and you are only a couple of pounds away from onederland. you will be there before you know it.

My pre-op diet still accounts for more than half of my current weight loss. i had been getting discouraged but I just had my 6th fill so i am hoping and am told that things should speed up a little.

I will be thinking of you.

I am glad that your fill is holding. I am going to ask that they check my Fluid level at my appointment this week. I feel like I don't have a band right now. I don't know what is going on.

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
