I am almost at the Drs goal weight, 8 more pounds :smile2:!!! I need to get my wedding rings resized. They are at least a size bigger than what they should be. The problem? I don't want to. They remind me of how far I have come when they slide up and down on my finger and fall off when I take laundry out of the washer and dryer. I have grown accustom to always bending my finger so I don't lose them!!! I know I will get them done eventually (it takes 10 days and I also don't want to be without them that long) but has anybody else experienced this?

I have a suggestion for you. I have these great things on my wedding ring. They are these little nubs at the bottom of band. At first it took a while to get used to, but now I don't even notice it. My hands swell really bad and it allows my ring to stay upright and gives me some room for swelling. I think they would work for you and you wouldn't have to reduce the ring size.

Congratulations on all the hard work!:smile2:

No it is actually 2 pieces of gold on the inside of the band that stick up like little nubs. Your ring will still be loose but it will keep it on your finger. I would send you a pic but I am a total idiot on the computer. My band is pretty thick at the bottom and it is a one piece ring, so that might play into it too. I can't wait until I have the same problem...getting banded in 13 days! Yipppppeeee!

Ok oh I will look into that. Thanks. Congrats on getting banded in 13 days. It is the most amazing thing I have ever done and would do it in a heartbeat again. Just listen to your Dr and do what he says and you will be a success story too!!! Good Luck on your journey and NEW LIFE!!!!!!

I am wearing a tiny thin ring in front of my wedding rings that is the correct size. This keeps my bands in place.

They have some really cute tiny bands out right now.

      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?

      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... :(
