Recommended Posts

Dr. Zapata in Monterrey Mexico, I am so happy, I'm going to start a new life, be a healthy Husband and father. This was a tough descision, been thinking about this for months, I am traveling alone( a little nervous), but I'm a 33 yr. old man, I need to quit whining. All those pre existing conditions that run in my family(obesity, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure,strokes, heart disease), maybe I can beat these, I'm 305lbs. hope to get to 180lbs. and healthy. Everyone on this site has been so supportive and helpful. I say to all you bandsters and future bandsters, good luck and I wish you all the best of health.

Hi Danny, I am doing fantastic. It took me a long time to get good restriction. I am an average loser at 2 lbs per week. I am down 56 lbs with a out 46 to go. Its great being over 1/2 way to goal now. I have the right restriction so I am really losing steadily now. You will find that important.

Val I hope you get to be banded in August, My wife is pregnant and we have a 3yr. old, I'm going to miss them so much, but in a year or two I will be healthy, instead of watching sports on tv, I'll be playing them, take care and good luck, Danny

Hey Danny,

Congrats!! I am also being banded on June 9 in Monterrey also, although I may have to change my date if I don't get my passport. I am also going by myself. I was told to be sure to ask for a wheelchair at both airports on your way back. Good Luck!!

Hey Michelle, I hope you get your passport in time, are you using Dr. Rhumbaut? I heard he is top notch, best of luck, Danny

Hello Danny,

How are you? I did have to change my date to July 17. I didn't allow enough time to get receipt of application for my passport. I am using Dr. Arturo Rodriguez. He proctors and trains many of the US doctors. I did lots of research and both names had lots of great stuff!! Are you using Rumbaut?

No Michelle I'm using Dr. Zapata, He is a Guru they tell me, I have been doing so much research, I just can't wait. Do you know anyone who has been banded? I have 2 close friends, one of them used Rhumbaut, praise everything about him, the other one used somebody in Gainesville Fl, Hipp I think, every thing seems well for him. I used Ready4Achange and Janet helped me out, everything seem to be on schedule. I'm a little scared doing this by myself!! How about you? I wish you the best of luck, stay in touch, Danny

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
