Orlando/Central Florida

Hi all - I'm new to this forum (and SOOO glad I found it!). I have done some research and think that lapbanding is the way to go for me. I have heard (mostly) good things about the center in Tampa, but am wondering if there is anyone who performs lapbanding/fills in Orlando... or closer than Tampa? Maybe Melbourne/Viera area?

Any advice you all can give will be greatly appreciated!

Hi - thanks for the reply. I have requested info from Dr. Fusco's office, and will try to get to the Seminar this week if there is room.

Guess i'll move this over to the Melbourne thread!

Brenda Kay...let's go through the list. are you exercising like you should? are you eating only what you can until you first feel full? that is so important... i had the same problem that you had one week, but when i got back on the right track. it came off like it was supposed to. if all else fails, just continue to do what you are supposed to and the weight will come off. maybe your body is still adjusting... good luck and keep the faith!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello all:

I live near Tampa but went to Colorado to Dr. Kirshenbaum. I am a self pay and his price was great.

We were banded only a few weeks apart. I just started eating what I consider solid foods this past week. (chicken, shrimp) Are you getting enough Protein? My doctor recommended 60 grams of Protein a day. He did not advocate a brand but suggested Protein shakes to supplement my diet to make sure I was getting enough protein.

Keep searching this forum, use the jump thread option at the bottom of the page on the home page for Lap Band Talk. You will find all of the topics there and can find everything from discussions on weight loss to diets, excercise and problems people face. You will find a wealth of information there.

I hang out in 'Considering Dr. Kirshenbaums' thread, April bandsters "Violets" and there is so much information in there I too feel so lucky to have found this website. The people are friendly and generous in their offer to help and share their experience.

I apologize. I didn't even look at the date you posted when I replied. I'm new here. So, who did you decide to go with for fills? I hear they are really expensive in the Orlando area.

Hi Melissa - I was wondering how your surgery went - glad it went okay. How was it? How are you feeling?

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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... :(
