Hello All! I'm back from Mexico with my new lapband. Dr. Ortiz and Dr. Martinez said they were astonished at the ease of my procedure and my recoop time. They said once they were there, it only took 7 minutes. Then 5 minutes out of the surgery room I was waking up. Everybody (especially me) was very happy.

Had the regular gas pains, but walking, hot showers, warm tea has helped a lot. I just got home late tonight (Thursday the 23rd). Have not been hungry and for the most part feel pretty good. Will take it easy now for the most part as I don't have to return to work until Jan. 3rd.

Thank you all for your wonderful support. So glad you're here!

Merry Christmas!

Super duper, Tooper! Darcey, you lucky girl. You got a band before hitting the big 300. You're in good hands with Ortiz and Martinez. I look forward to following your journey. Peace n' love.

Way to go Darcey, enjoy those liquids and your journey as a bandster and the new you. I'm in the mushy stage, wahoo! Although, those mushies were a little more than mushy tonight, this wonderful Christmas Eve. I did chew really well though gang. Almost 3 weeks out, hope I didn't stretch anything. All feels well.

      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! 😞
