I wanted to say hi and introduce myself. My name is Debra and I am a Pre-Op Mom of three(12, 8, and 1.5), living in Missouri. I have UHC (thank goodness) and my first individual appointment With Dr. Stephen Malley is 28 June. I am really excited. I was going to go RNY because I did even know this procedure existed. Thankfully, the surgeon I saw for RNY informed me of this procedure and said he actually preferred it but was not performing it yet.

I have already made my mind up to be banded and my family is all very supportive and excited. I can't wait to be able to keep up with my kids(well atleast try).

Welcome Aboard! God leads us when we least expect it! Look where he sent you to learn about options. How wonderful. I truely believe you made the right choice. It took me two yrs of research & still near the two week mark I wondered a bit about which surgery. My Doctors does both- But after more & more support groups in person - I KNOW I chose the right one. RNY seems to have so many serious complications that are so life threatening. With your children in the picture, I am so glad you changed your mind. Keep us posted on your journey!

Welcome to LBT!!! How wonderful that you have such great family support. This is a great place for support and information too. I love that one of your reasons for losing weight is so you can keep up with your kids. This is also one of my reasons...so when I have kids, I can keep up with the little rug rat.

Best of luck to you as you begin this journey.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
