Hello everyone,
My name is AlLee. I live in Florida. I had gastric segmentation in May 2000 in Houston, TX. My starting weight was 301 lbs. My procedure is similar to the lap band except mine is not adjustable. I lost down to 145. I then gain some and now my weight is maintained between 185-191 lbs. I had a child 2 years ago. I have had some complications. Most of are due to my not following the diet recommended, taking vitamins, and a few other issues.
I am writing a research paper for Composition II on obesity surgery. I am hoping to get some feed back from this site. I would like to post a survey and invite everyone to please help me with replying as soon as possible.
I am hoping between writing this paper and getting more aware of my sitiuation, I can get back on track. Overall, I consider myself a success but it is nice to get some support from other that have been where I am.
Thank you,
AlLee

I thought I should answer these question for you all too.
Some of my problems since the surgery is controlling my eating. I still rely on purging. I know this is wrong but can't seem to get over it. This has caused many of my health problems but I would never change the fact I had this surgery.

3. quick question

I'm in a bit of a bind now. I went through the six month nutrition program and was told they present everything to the doctor and then call with a surgery date...probably at the first of the year. I was a bit disappointed, but excited that I had gotten that far. Well, that was before I didn't hear from them for two weeks and then got the phone call. The doctor isn't happy with my progress. He says I haven't lost enough weight and I don't have an exercise program. Well, duh. I told him up front that due to medical issues, I really can't exercise. I am hoping that the surgery will help with that. I'm really not making excuses here and don't know what to think. I had to pay out of pocket for the nutrition program so I asked and talked about everything with him because I can't afford just to do that, and now I'm not sure what to do. Was anybody else unable to work out before surgery.
