  1. 20-lb weight vest

    · mscarly · 05/01/09 02:22 AM

    My physical therapist said something encouraging to me tonight. She said she estimated I'd be in about 90% less pain once this weight is off.
     
    Her comparison: she wears a 20-lb weight vest when she walks on the treadmill. She says it feels SO GOOD to just be able to unzip that vest and take it off at the end of a workout.
     
    Just think about MULTIPLES of that vest. What we're doing isn't quite as quick as being able to unzip a "fat suit" - but the next best thing!:biggrin:

  2. Got a date today -

    Date tentatively set for Jun-3 2009, pending final pre-op testing. Hope I don't come down with the swine flu in the meantime
     
    Thanks to the kind words from visitors to my blog. I have had company for a few weeks and need to catch up with my "correspondence" on this wonderful site.
     
    Keep up the good work, Bandsters!

    Great site - lots of inspiration here!
     
    I'm also looking for others who were born with congenital hip disorder. It's been a long downward spiral - lots of extra weight on a bad hip and back, very painful. Expecting to get banded in Apr 09.
     
    Starting BMI 45.3
    Weight 264
