Hi Oceangal:

I would love to be your band buddy/mentor. I was banded in July 2007, but to be prepared I started dieting in April 2007. I'm down 132 pounds - yippee!

On the personal side, I am the Mom of a wonderful 20 year old (in 23 days she'll be 21, not yet) Daughter. I'm 48 years old. However, I feel like I'm 28 again because of losing all of the weight. I was married for 20 years, but divorced 4 years ago. I work full time, and play part time. I had been walking for all of my exercise until a few months ago when I bought a trikke. I love my trikke.

I love my band. I never could have done it without my band (my belly cop). I go to a great surgical group. They have support group once a month and they're really wonderful over there. Skillful, caring, and the office is run very efficiently. It's a very friendly place too!

I'd love to answer any questions that you have. Seeing that you're in Amherst and I'm in Norwood we'll probably never meet, but we could still be band buddies.

I hope that you get your surgery date soon.

Please ask any questions and I'll be glad to answer.

Take care.

Sue

      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! 😞
