Thanks BigGurlx and LiveLoveLaugh for the info. I call Dr. Hoffman office today to set an appointment. Lisa was not there today but the person that was filling in for today was very helpful. I gave her all of my information and she said that she will have Lisa give me a call to set an appointment. I can not wait. I am hoping she calls me tomorrow. Thanks again I will keep you posted.

Dont bother with that website it was alittle hard to navigate. I went to the lapband website and got the requirements here they are

  • You are at least 18 years old
  • You are at least 100 pounds overweight or your BMI is 40 or higher (or at least 35 if you have one or more comorbidities - weight-related health conditions - such as type 2 diabetes)

Juan1026 - Hey yeah my BMI was a hugh factor in me me getting approved for surgery. They like to see 40 or above but would consider 35 with other factors like addressed above. I was 411 and since my BMI was over 60 they (not Hoffman) recommend Bypass over Lap-band. Dr. Hoffman was really in my corner and was right there by my side helping me to believe in the band and that I should not stray from my decision that I made before coming in to see him. I had lost weight on Weight Watchers prior twice (over 150 each time) I knew I could lose just couldn't keep it off for long periods of time.

      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
