Recommended Posts

:) :cry

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to give everyone an update on my band removal. I talked to my surgeon here where I live, and he has agreed to take my band out.. well, so far so good.. he is going to have my records faxed to him and then he will decide if he can do it.. I am thrilled about this.. and my insurance will cover the surgery. yahooooooooo :D

Don't get me wrong, I am very bummed about this whole band erosion thing, but I am glad to be saving thousands of dollars...

Well, thanks again for everyone's support!!!

EROSION IS HELL ON EARTH :D !!!

For no particular reason, my husband has asked me to add this photo to my post:

I am sorry to hear about your erosion and my prayers are with you.

On a lighter note...

Can you ask hubby if he has a picture of the Dolphin's helmet instead... it's much more attractive to the eye.

Very sorry to hear about the erosion, Francesca. While I realize its probably not going to make ya feel any better at this point, from the last pictures I saw of you, you're looking absolutely stunning, so hey, you've got that :)

My thoughts will be with you through the surgery.

Oh .. and tell the hubby that a Saints helmet would look soooo much better in that space :D

Aw Francesca. I'm really sorry about your erosion. You have done so well and I know it's a bummer. Glad your insurance is paying for the removal though. Do you have a date yet? Keep us posted and you will be in my prayers.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
