Successfully banded 12/3/14
MarieMarie replied to lulalove's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Hope you feel great soon. I am down 40 pounds. Banded Aug 13. This includes pre op. I feel great. I want to encourage the walking. You need the core body strength and it helps with the gas. Remember it is a tool and we need to do a lot of work also. Good luck -

I had other surgeries when my kids were small. They want mom. I sat with them. Lay in bed beside to read stories. I just didn't pick them up -

How does Sleep Apnea complicate the VSG date?
MarieMarie replied to Slimsoon1988's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Because of my sleep apnea, I stayed the night after my surgery. My sleep apnea machine changed my life. I will use it until hopefully one day I don't have to. -

Stalling near significant milestone numbers?
MarieMarie replied to katesuccess's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
My 4 week stall ended with a 7 pound weight loss registered at the Doctors. I told her I didn't believe the weight she said,she printed it out and handed it to me. Wow Happy Day -

Finally! Broke the Plateau.
MarieMarie replied to loser2014's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Weeks at a stall. I hid my scale and focussed on everything I knew I should be doing. Dr weigh in said 7 lbs down. Perhaps I will find the scale again or wait for next doctor visit -

4 Month Bandiversary!
MarieMarie replied to Dragon Lady's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Thank you. A few short months ago I was reading forums NOT believing I would have a success story to share -
Had my first fill. A slight pick and she added 1 cc. It takes a few days to kick in with 48 hr fluids and 48 he mushy foods

Keep up the great work. I am one month ahead of you. Down 40 lbs and feeling good. I need to keep up the momentum. I have list and regained 20 lbs before often. I need to ensure I continue on track

size 20 to size 16 ????
MarieMarie replied to Jkim728's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I am dreaming about being a size 16. It has been many years since I seen that size. 22's we're getting tight, now 20's are too loose and not quite 4 months. -
Getting banded on wednesday, pre-op nerves
MarieMarie replied to Sophie139's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Even with 40 lbs loss I still worry I won't complete my journey. It could be this worry that keeps me going even with other life stressing things that happen in everyone's life
