That's wonderful.

She thought she was an expert BEFORE she got one.

Now she'll think she invented the damn thing.

Well.....I have a question and have searched first to see if someone else had it to. Will my bad make the metal detectors go off at the airport??? I have not traveled yet and am curious if I will need a Dr.'s note or something......:thumbdown:

The band is NOT metal so there's nothing to set off a metal detector. :)

However, there is a bit of titanium in the port. I asked the surgeon the same question about metal detectors as I fly once a year to visit my mom and grand mother. He said that when we fly, we should have our lap band card w/us just in case.

Let me add that I have the Lap-band. The port on the Realize band may not have titanium in it. If you have the Realize band, you may want to ask your surgeon.

HH, you must learn to make your points without personal attacks. Same goes for Wasa and TopTier. Your opinions are all excessively clear and there is no need to continue the ranting.

I am doing neither. Agnes had a heart attack at age 26, she has high blood pressure, and something else, I forget. She wants to take control of her life and health. When you have someone following her around telling her she needs therapy and a diet, telling her she is lying and doesn't weigh much... THAT is not healthy and THAT is ranting.

If someone wants WLS and they are obese, I am going to stand up for them.

      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! 😞
