Well, I'm going to give this a little time because not everyone checks in every day. We'll take a look at sometime after the holiday.

Thanks,
Maybe I will feel more like a rock star when I am healed and I can see some of the visual turn arounds of the surgery

Congratulations on a great 2 week check up.   You rock as the poster child for bariatric surgery.  You should be extremely proud of your accomplishment.

Lap-RNY is Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass, meaning they don't open you all the way up to do surgery.

I am in Fargo ND.

I am from Bismarck.  What area are you from?  What is the Lap-RNY?  It sounds like you are doing very well considering you are in the recovery stage yet.  

I belong to another website but wanted to get to know some people closer to home to talk with.

Topic: 2 Week check up
Greetings!

Yesterday (Wednesday) I went in for my 2 week check up and seen the NUT.

Doctors part- He said I am doing good and to keep up the work. I am down 20 pounds since pre-op (July 27) and said the first couple months will be slow and then I should see some big changes. He goals me out at 150 pounds. Says I have 80 more to go. I guess I didn't even think about how boarder line I was to get approved for the surgery,had I not had co-morbs to have gotten approved so fast.

NUT- She was very impressed with my menus and charting, I kept telling her that I am so OCD it isn't funny, she just kept shaking her head in disbelief I guess LOL.
The only thing she said I could do is bump up my proteins by 10g. I should be able to do that seeing as she also has extended my foods to include almost everything. I gave her a couple of hints to things that she wrote down and was going to look up LOL

All in all I am doing ok.
My SO said to me this morning that since surgery I have not snored, they must of fixed that button too LOL. I told him that maybe it is because I am using two pillows now vs the one. He said my breathing isn't hard when I am sleeping either. Now, to help people understand this little ditty, He would wait for me to fall asleep so he could change the TV channel to something HE likes LOL I would wake up and yell at him. Now that I am not breathing as hard or sleeping he has no clue if I am slee*****t LMAO!

I told him "I guess I am now your silent partner" LOL

Everyone enjoy the day

Topic: Hi

I thought I would say hi.  I had lapband about a year ago but didn't get any restriction until about 3 months ago.  I lost weight before and after surgery but gained a few pounds before restriction. 

When I finally got restriction, I realized how this band could work.  I love it.  And, I was a real doubting thomas. 

I would love to chat with others who have had gastric surgery to compare notes.
