15 Days Out And I Hope This Blogs
Hello again for some reason my blog entries arent posting probably because I m doing something wrong so I will try again and start w/ my journey 15 days post op thats right 2 weeks and about 18 pounds but half of that i lost before surgery but its still a loss, I moving on down and feel great I had a real easy recovery back up and doing the norm 3 days out, little gas pain but I do have other medical problems that remind me of pain like a bad kneew I am hoping when getting this weight off will imorove but my ortho says probaly not, so walking more than 20 min. for me is very ruff can't do it knee flares up and then I m 2 days out, anyways I count my blessings because I fought long and hard w/ insurance to pay for this surgery and I feel so blessed I finely got it so I am embracing it as my last chance, yesterday I actuly tried on a old beatles t-shirt that fit like a gloove 2 years agp so I stopped wearing it and guess what it fit with room to spare I was so happy I cried really I cried, such a small thing to others but to me a huge accomplishment till next post chow thanks for reading and I hope it posts this time.

Hi my name is jane and I am being banded on nov. 15th. I can't wait I have been sad and lonely for years because of my obesity I am 55 and scared a little about the surgery and recovery but I feel like this is my last shot at getting healthy and living a normal life so in that respect I can't wait has anybody else on here had Dr. simpson in AZ. do there band I really trust him but he hasn't put me through a battery of test like I hear from other people and I am now wondering why, anyways I am looking at this forum for support and hope that I can make some educated banded friends insanejane - November Bandsters!!!
