Hi Carl,

I haven't been on here for a few weeks and we are heading out of town for a few days.

But WELCOME I don't even know where Franklin is.

Congrats on your band. I can't go on enough about how great my life has been since I had the surgery. Don't get me wrong I have had challanges, but but through all of them I have grown.

I will try to check in while out of town.

Again, welcome.

Congratulations to you. I was just banded on July 11. Hope I do as well as you are doing. All is going good right now. Thanks for thinking about us new banders. Had mine done here in Raleigh N.C. by Dr. Enochs.

I don't know if anyone is interested, but I'd be happy to make a NC version of the table that I made on the August 2008 board. It could have everyone's username, band date, dr, hometown? Check out the one on the board and let me know. It's easy to update and has really helped us to connect!

I was banded last Friday and doing well Thanks to all for all the support and tips. I just love this site. Especially since I don't know anyone else personally who has a band. I am in Apex N.C. and Dr. Enochs was my surgeon.

      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! 😞
