Recommended Posts

Aloha All

Well sports fans it's offical as of 9-17-07, 1120 AM HST. As per my PCP I'm off ALL my Meds, no more High Blood Pressure Meds (That should make my DSW Happy) no more diabetes med. and no more Chlesterol med. I'm so happy this was my goal to get off my meds. So from now on any weight I loss is just for show. Thanks to everyone that has sent me support e-mail and above all I owe so much to my DSW Beverly for her contuined support, I don't think I could have done it without her. She is the Best. And also big Mahalo's to Dr. Fowler and his staff and The Castle Medical Center for there care and support. Well got to run, sorry for the miss spelled words and words left out, I just so excited I can hardly stand it.

Aloha

Congrats Dave! It's like it makes all of this worth it. I was never on meds like that but scared of getting obesity related diseases, so it really shows that the lap band is really worth it. Way to go!:car:

That is so great! That is the whole reason why I looked into this procedure. Two years ago (at age 31) I was diagnosed with chronic hypertension, and am taking 3 pills a day for it. My doctor had a really hard time getting it under control.

I have been working toward my surgery for about 8 months now, and have lost 40 lbs, although in the past few months I have gained a few back... (another reason for the surgery).

During some of my initial tests, I was just discovered to have reached the max for desirable triglicerides (sp?). I am doing this just in time it seems.

Anyway, congratulations! That is so fantastic, and I hopefully won't be too far behind!! :)

      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... :(
