Post-op Day 6 - EXERCISE!

Well, I thought I had better get off of my blessed assurance and get back to exercise!   Prior to my operation my usual walk was 4.5 kilometres at least three to four times a week and water aerobics once a week. I also went for a seriously strenuous hike a couple of days before the operation which made me feel on top of the world.   I have had a bad cold so have slept a lot while home from work and have hated not getting out and about since coming home from the hospital.   Today was the

The operation went fantastic and I feel amazing!

My operation was fantastic and 5 days after I have no pain! No left shoulder hurting, no pain where the stiches are, no pulling on the wounds . . I am totally amazed at how well everything has gone. I even started sleeping on my tummy after the third night!   I went into hospital Thursday morning and went home Friday evening. From the time I got to my bed after the procedure I have had nothing other than Panedol! And I stopped taking that on Saturday!   I had to argue with the nurses after

And then suddenly - BAM! I am on the other side!

No more waiting for me!! June 11th I was banded!!!! I cannot believe that I am standing here on the other side so suddenly! I was only on the waiting list for 12 months!   In November 2008 I made a decision to lose as much weight as I could in preparation for the surgery that awaited. I lost 24.8 kilograms (54.5 pounds) by May 2009. I saw my surgeon for my 12-month appointment and waiting list follow-up and informed him of my excitement for the procedure and how I had lost 24 kilos in prepara

Disappointment

I am so disappointed. Let me start from the beginning . . . . .   August 2007 I am refered to a bariatric clinic that performs lap banding. After a barrage of appointments and tests I am told that I am a good candidate but unless I have insurance or $12,000 they cannot help me. The Dr. tells me to go back to my GP and have him refer me to a local hospital to get put on their waiting list.   December 2007 Through a friend of a friend and an awesome God connection, I was referred to a surgeon

My reminders and rewards for the weight loss

So I have decided that for every 10 kilograms of weight I lose I will get a charm bracelet and then charms. I am so excited because I will be able to pick something fun and cute for every milestone as well as look at the bracelet and remember what hard work I have done.   I have not been banded yet, but I am confident my turn on the waiting list will be soon. :frown:)   I have lost 11 kilos since November 20 :confused: so I am going to lay-by my bracelet this weekend. It is so exciting.
