Super excited today. I had my first appointment with my doc today. He said since I had great insurance that usually approves everyone, I don't need to do a 3 month supervised diet as long as I can loose 20 lbs asap. I'm super stoked. I want this Lapband gone. It has been a horrible experience and I'm so ready to start living life again. He said my best option would be gastric bypass. I simply cannot wait. I hope everything goes well. Healthy eating and strict diet start asap. It will be hard to cut out sweets but I know I can do it. I have the best motivation of all.

Thank you so much. I know most people aren't happy and excited to go to the doctor but I was. I couldn't even sleep last night. A little weird i know but I just can't wait to have this darn thing taken out and have the revision done. Counting down the days till my next visit. 12 days.....lets get it! Hehe :-)

You can do this!!! I have heard awful things about the band...so sorry you had to experience that! My surgeon does not even do the band anymore...he said you don't lose the weight like the bypass or sleeve! I hope all goes well and you just keep focused to shed those 20 lbs and get scheduled for your life changing surgery!!!

Thank you. I'm really going to try my hardest to loose the weight asap. Cutting the sugar is gonna be the hardest. But it's all for the best.

      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.

      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?

      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! 😞
