South AL/ South MS - Where are you?



Recommended Posts

I have been lurking around this site for weeks but not really posting. I am just curious as to why so few people from South Alabama and South Mississippi seem to be on this site. I live in Mobile County. I was banded on June 15th in Pascagaoula, MS. I sure would love to hear from y'all!!!! :(

I'm so glad to hear from you!! We southerners need to stay in touch! I was banded Dec. 31, 2009. I've only lost 25 lbs. i'm still trying to get my fill right. I live in McComb, Ms about 90 miles north of New Orleans. 18 miles from the La. line. My Dr. is in Gonzaales, La. (Dr. Drake Bellanger) I really like him, but he is taking too long to get my fills right, or maybe I'm just frustrated.:scared2: i can still eat too much!! Let me know how you had such great success!!:cheers2:

      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?
