I wanted to also answer a couple of questions that were asked....

I have not reached my goal, I want to loose another 25 pounds (veru douable :0) ). I am not sure what they do when you reach your goal. I had 4 fills and 1 unfill. I do have some saggy skin but I am hoping that will tighten up with exercise...I wish I had been excersing more over the last year. After surgery I felt like there was slight restriction but that went away after the swelling went away. My first fill gave me some restriction, I started feeling hungrier so I git the second fill. My third fill was almost perfect, so I figured one more would but perfect. The fourth fill was great at first but ended up being too tight so Iasked my doctor to take some out. I current have 5.5cc in my 10cc band.

Way to go Alison! :thumbup:It's not bragging, it's reporting. We bandsters, especially newbies like me, want to hear about the success stories. I hope you keep on this site and continue to inspire newbies like myself and even ones who've had it for a while but haven't worked it quite as well as you.

      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... :(
