Boppin' Bubbe

I know! I hate it when I'm working out at the gym and i'm having to hold it in. It hurts! I guess its just part of what we have to live with You guys make me laugh! I can hardly wait to get to the gym. Thank goodness Planet Fitness is a judgment free zone!! ☁️

. Eating is so much easier, I can eat pretty much anything although fried food and carbs make me feel a little yucky like heavy so I stay away from them.. I honestly don't have hunger.. Once in a while I'll forget to eat and start feeling shaky and think oh crap I haven't eaten today.. So weird to not have that hunger feeling. I am doing awesome down 41 and I have 20 left to go. I was low bmi because of having had the lapband. I am thrilled with my rny You are my hero! ☀️

Is it better today? Try heating pad on your back and shoulder if it's pain from the gas. Keep walking. Follow your docs instructions and if it's bad call the ofc!

I am originally from TX now living in NE. I am 64 also & will have surgery on the 20th! So glad to hear how well you are doing!!!

How great!! You got 'er done !!

Im home...I was out the day following dde00 Home!! Hooray!!! Best if luck as you make your way!

I am so glad to hear it! I know when I had my GB out it was sore going for a bit. You'll be great ! It's all done!! When is your discharge to home date?

Should be nice & cool for lots if walking and z low key Thanksgiving!! Turkey broth!!

Maybe. I was self pay for lapband but still had to do NUT & Psych. Perhaps the sic feels everything is a-ok!

Thank you for this! The band has not been my friend either with multiple aspiration pneumonias from reflux. I was initially skeptical about the bypass but when they told me I would never have reflux again I signed up! How's eating going? Hunger?

You go girl!!! See you in the other side of surgery!!! ????

You are a champ!! Can't wait fir surgery in 4 days!!!

Yay !!! So glad to hear it! Are you still able to walk and get around?

OMG-- now what!? Will they still do surgery? I would guess so...

I didn't have to go through the long waiting period or losing weight, etc. Ins Co approved in 2 weeks.

I had to go thru all testing except psychological. Was good to go there again.

Oh yeah !! Prior to the preop I ate too much and as an only occ drinker had margaritas every night. BUT the minute I started preop that foolish behavior was DONE!!

. So glad you are doing well, Road Runner!! My surgery us a week from today -- lap band removal & gastric bypass! Hope they can do it all at once. Started pre-op diet this am! Crunching on raw carrots ( allowed) for the chew factor! Getting cortisone injection into knee tomorrow so I can be a road runner, too!

Good luck to you, too!! It will be great!!

Aug 20 lap band to RNY bypass revision due to severe GERD causing aspiration pneumonias & staph in the lungs. Surgery 8/20, preop starts 8/13! Age 64 from CT

Me too, for the 20th! Can't wait but with butterflies!!

There are a couple of guys. My guess is that a lot of guys don't use a peer support site like women do! Glad I'm female !! ????

I'll be watching to see how u do!!' I will NOT miss the lab band!! Good luck!
