band to bypass - surgery 16jan2016
Yes indeed I agree withn Annie you may lose a tiny bit slower but as long as you stick with your eating plan and keep your carbs on the low side you should do great, Plus you will have the malabsorption from the bypass and that will help but do remember that the malabsorptive aspect will only be at its best for 12-18 mos and after that it will start fading as the body starts absorbing calories again so work your very hardest to take advantage of this honey moon period. I know many people who have had this same surgery and done very well and reached their goal weights. As with all weight loss plans you will still have to work very hard and keep at it for the rest of your life but this will give you the extra boost we all need. Wishing you great success!
wow... only six week and you already have a time frame... that's really good!!!... I have started the process last January! Getting my band removed and healing from the band really delayed things. Congrats on the 15lbs.That's an awesome start to getting your life back. My BMI is 50.4 and my body feels like it's locked up in a prison of pain. I start the shakes on December 26th! can't wait to break free once again.
