Hello ALL :wave:
Hi, I've never posted on this board. I actually just found it. I had my original surgery April 9, 2007. I had lap band. I got an infection around my band and had to be revised to RNY on Feb 6 2008. My band helped me lose 70 pounds and I've lost almost another 20 since my revision. I am stalking the boards again to kick start myself. I've gotten lazy. It seems to work because I've lost 6 of those 20 pounds since the beginning of last week. Two days ago was the first time I've ever been in the "normal" weight category. WooHoo. Anyway, I just wanted to introduce myself and let you know a bit about me.
Here are my stats:
Highest weight 242
DOS 232
Goal 145
Current 154

Welcome to the A team!!! Everyone here is so supportive ,, Most are a RNY here but few of us are Lap banders but u r unigue u had both .. I am a very slow loser but at least I am losing LOL I am married to a RNY and he is almost 2 years out. He has not lost any more weight after 9 mos post surgery and infact he is gaining some weight back and he has yet to conquer his demends. He can drink regular soda and does not have sugar dumping and his diabetes has come back even tho he has BMI OF 25. He does not eat very much and what he does it is the wrong Food. He cannot eat meat much and seems the soft high carb food is what he eats as eating protien makes him sick. I have a very tight restriction I have 4.1 cc fill in 4 cc band You are doing awesome on your weight loss..ty u inspired me that lap band does a great job in losing..
I have no hunger with my lap band and work on keeping out of starvation mode post surgery my meals are still 2 -3 oz and I try to consume 1000 calories a day.
well anyway i got off track LOL
Welcome and look forward to future posts from you
