OMG, I sure forgot that you were known as Ebnoy Rose. I guess we need to make sure that everyone remebers our nicknames instead of real names. Iam just having a midlife moment.

Midlife moment...that's too funny! :smile:

That's quite alright...we should definately tell folks at the meetings that we're on LBT and how to find us there in case they want to feel like they "know someone" here when they jump in. I think we should definately promote LBT, because I would not be nearly as successful with my band without my online fam!:)

There is a person in the Yahoo Groups that lives over in the North Windham a suburb of Willimantic that is looking for a support group that would be close to Hartford, Ct. She see Dr. Amy Barba, but because of current conditions she is unable to get to the doctor and have here band checked for a leak and to get it fixed and a fill. I do not have many details at this time. I had told here about this site and she did not know about it. I gave here the information and told here I would post here and see if any one could help and if there was a support group in Hartford. If anyone can help please let me know and I will forward it on to here.

Thanks

Chris

Hi! He's my doctor, too. I was seeing Dr. Yood at first, and he even performed my surgery, but he has since left Orchard Medical. Do you like Dr. Nazdam? I've only seen him one time. He did a floral fill under an xray. It helped me to begin weight loss again after 6 months of staying the same weight. Good luck with your weight loss. When was your surgery? And how have you been doing?

I had my surgery on 9/9/08. I have lost 60 lbs. since then. I started at 281. I feel so much better since losing 60, and I no longer am diabetic. I still keep a close watch on what I eat though. I try to stay away from sweets. I didn't have a problem with them until I got banded. Oh well.

Hi CT Lapbanders!

Checking in...haven't been here in a while...

Just completed the Couch-to-5k running program and ran my first 5k race last Saturday. Finished the race (second to last) and was very happy to do so!

Continuing my training so I can plan a 10k in the Spring of 2010.

I'm closing in on my 1 year bandiversary (Nov 17th) and working hard to be at my ever-changing goal weight by then. I'd like to be at 170 - family and friends are telling me to stop now...still taking a minimal level of diabetes medicine, and that's my barometer for stopping the weight loss. Once I'm off the meds completely, I'll consider stopping the effort to lose and concentrate on maintaining and reshaping my newly smaller body.

Lots of work to do in the abdominal region - didn't know what an impact the weight loss would truly have until it happened - and it happened so gradually that I just looked down one day and here's all this excess skin and soft spots! :crying::eek::(

Anyway - glad to see other CT bandsters checking in and doing well. Hope to see some of you at the next support group meeting in New Haven if you are close enough - it will be on Wednesday, November 4th. :thumbup:

      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

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
