Re: anyone with JIB and no weight lost????

August 13, 2003

Hi Kourt,

I may be wrong here, but I thought they were no longer doing the

JIB? Why did you not have one of the more common surgeries being

done today (gastric bypass, DS, lapband, etc.)? I would suggest

calling the hopsital and getting a copy of your Op Report. If that

is what you had, you better have a copy of it just in case you ever

need any other surgeries. I also have no idea why you haven't lost

any weight in the month since surgery, but it all sounds rather

unusual.

Who was your surgeon, and where is (s)he?

in NJ

> Hi-

> This is my first time posting, I had a VBG 6/99 starting 289, lost

to 147# total of 142# in 9 months. I began to gain weight last year

after breaking my leg twice. I went up to 205# and 7-14-03 I had a

JIB, my VBG is fine no break down or stretching. Today I weigh the

same as I did the day I left the hospital. I am so upset that I had

to go through a major surgery and I haven't lost a pound. Is there

anyone out there who is familiar with this procedure, please any help

would be great.
