Hi !

I am new to this forum I have been posting over at Obesityhelp.com but I like the way this forum is set up. So i've been here viewing for a couple of days.

A little about me... 33 yrs 5ft 200lbs looking to loose 80lbs. I have my consult with Dr. Horgan here in Chicago on 8/5 from there I will do labs/psych eval, etc.

Im going to be here everyday viewing and posting. Feel free to email me if we have similar stories or if you have info/tips for me.

I was banded by Dr. Horgan on the 28th (thursday) He was great, just so you knwo it will be a fellow that does the evaluation. I live in the south burbs of Chicago and would be happy to asnwer any questions that you may have. I am 27 so we are pretty close in age and started at about the same weight. ~Mandy

Good luck, Joy. I'm a Chicago bandster too; there are a lot of us around. I've seen Dr. H for aftercare & he has been very helpful. I see him at the Michigan Ave. office, but I think the actual surgeries are performed at UIC Hospital. For more opinions, search for "Horgan" or "MIBC" at the top of the page to see if you find some posts. Welcome to LBT!

      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.

      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! 😞
