Thank you! I amaze myself every time I look in the mirror!*lol* I go see Dr. B on the 31st of March for my one year follow up. Have you gone to see him?
I originally went to him for the band but after some researach decided bypass was better for me. He tried to talk me into the band. Did he mention the band to you? He's always been known for the band. Although if you look at his numbers side by side he has still done more bypasses. Its just that he does more bands currently.
Really? I don't know why he did more GB than banding. I'm glad I didn't know that BEFORE my surgery! *lol* I'm sure he'll be really thrilled with your weight loss. He had told me that he usually looks for us to lose at least 10 lbs a month. I go back for my three month appointment in July. I hope I've lost another 25-30 by then.
He told me he does 12 bands a week compared to 1 bypass. So thats probably why I was the only bypass. He's definitely more of a band doctor. I see him on Monday for my two month appointment. 40 pounds is great especially since you don't have very much to lose. I still have a long way to go.
