Any December '08 Bandsters?



Recommended Posts

Can some one help me with all those people you come in contact with who are just plain nosey.

My wife struggles with that all the time in a big company where she has been for 30 years. People who aren't even close are really pushy with their questions. I've been considering all kind of smart @ss answers "I'm on the Fribbleman diet, you should try it and walk away" (insert any meaningless word for fribbleman. Perhaps the MYOB diet?. I was also considering saying my wife put an invisible fence around the refrigerator and I don't have a key to take off this darn collar.

I just spoke to Dr. Kuri's office today and I am considering to book my appt for the first week of December as well. Have you got any feed back on him from this site?

Hopefully! I've completed all my pre-op testing - just waiting to hear from my insurance company. My surgeon is confident that I'll get scheduled for December. Hooray!!

:D

Hi Pete,

I'm about to make my appointment with Dr. Kuri. I'll see if Dec. 5 is available for another person. It would be fun to email in the days before we go. Nancy

december is fast approaching, so keep positive it will all work out in the end, I believe there are always reasons for something and I feel that it must have been a very good reason for you not having it on your original date. Did they say why it was postponed? and what date were you originally supposed to have your surgery...

Nope, I just made my appointment with Dr. Kuri. My surgery is going to be December 1. Anyone else out there have the same date with him?

That's great that you are going to Dr. Kuri. To bad we're not the same day but still the same week.

Just for anyone wondering about Medical Tourism and going to Mexico for surgery here is a news article that CBS channel 13 in Sacramento did about the Good and the Bad sides. Dr. Pedro Kuri was shown as the good side to medical tourism. cbs13.com - CBS13 Investigates: Surgery South Of The Border

      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... :(
