My name is Brenda and I live in Arkansas. I have been to this site and have posted some pix but never formally introduced myself. I had my surgery a year ago today and have been ever so thankful ever since. My surgeons name is Dr Rachael Keilin (the best in the business). :) She is so kind and concerned. I have lost almost 70 lbs since my surgery with only 8 more lbs to go to reach my own personal goal. I am here to help anyone that I can because I know that this journey is not easy. I thought it would be much easier than it actually is but anything worth having is worth working for.

Which part of Arkansas??

Where is your doctor located?

I grew up in Fort Smith and my husband grew up in Pine Bluff (Watson Chapel). I've only banded a few weeks. I'd love to know how much you've lost and how you knew when to stop eating! I haven't mastered that yet and I get too full and it hurts pretty bad for about 30 minutes or so.

      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! 😞
