The Union Tribune YEAH!



Recommended Posts

I just got a phone call from a writer at the Union Tribune. For those who don't know what that is, its a huge newspaper in the San Deigo area. I'm actually not sure how far out their papers go. Anyway, I did an interview about the lap band in May and its finally going to cycle. It comes out in 2 weeks from Sunday and its the FRONT PAGE! I'm so happy. The lap band is my future. In 6 months from now, I will be working for UCSD helping people who are just like how I was before the Lap Band. I'm so happy. I have always known that I wanted to help people but not exactly which catagory. Now I get to help people feel good about themselves!

THANK YOU LAP BAND!:lol:

the article is also about him. it should be coming out on the 21st. Dr Horgan is amazing huh? The waiting room always sucks but I've never met a doctor who cared so much.

Hollie, we are all so proud of you. I'm so glad you will be getting a new job, that last one sounded hellish. Hey, how often did you doctor let you get fills. Since you were so closely monitored in the study, I was wondering what their policy was. Do you know how much fill you have and the type of band? Just curious.

Hi Hollie, How exciting for you...I live in Downtown SD and I will be looking for the article. I am going in for my consultation in a week with Dr. Horgan. I am hoping to have surgery around the end of November. Congrats again!

      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... :(
