Finally went to seminar today!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Recommended Posts

I finally went to the info. session today. I really liked the surgeon, he seemed very confident and sure of himself, which is a characteristic I really want in someone operating on me. The surgery coordinator was also at the seminar, and she said she would be calling me tomorrow to schedule and appt. with the surgeon for next week. The coordinator said that I would have a surgery date the day of my first appt. I am worried, yet excited at the same time. Wish me luck.

i remember when I went to the first seminar and met my soon to be doc! I was so excited after that and couldnt wait for surgery! Now it has been almost a year and I can't believe how quickly time has flown by!

I hope this new year finds starts a new chapter for you! you will find so much help here and on bandster blogs! I have met some really great people bc of this band!

Holler if you have any questions!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
