Recommended Posts

Thanks for the add . As of today 1-19-20 ,I have never been so sick malnutrition and loosing quality of life .

I was banned 10-09 and for 9 yrs I lost 80-90 lbs ( also the most stressful yrs as an adult I might add ) ... fast forward 2 yrs ago I was gaining weight back rapidly yet it wasn’t from food Fluid retained in soft tissue 🤷🏻‍♀️
my doctor moved along to the modern sleeve no longer dealt with the band , passed me on to a p a with not any hands on band issues ... by the next two months I was sick and balloons up to 200 pounds At 4”11 ... and I COULD NOT FIND A DOC IN SOUTH JERSEY TO REMOVE

2 bands the band and realize NOT MANY with much knowledge of the realize ..

I go to a well known east coast heart hospital finally a nice understanding Dr. who agreed to remove the band and sleeve so the date comes 5-17-18 (paperwork similar ) no psych no vit shots ... the nutritionist and ins wait ..

I go in all is ok from what I remember the next day I am complaining of itching hands head n eyes “nurse perhaps pain meds “

whatever is going on with you is incredibly rare. We almost never hear about this kind of thing. Sorry you're going through this.

I’m struggling to decipher what you have written. You had the band removed and thought you were sleeved but you weren’t ? Is that right? You are struggling to eat or drink. I find it hard to believe that a surgeon has diagnosed you with a twisted stomach and not fixed it. Normally a twisted stomach would be a medical emergency as the loss of blood flow would cause necrosis, infection and ultimately death.

And this has been going on since 2018? Please tell me what I’m missing.

      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.

        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
