I will be there. I went last month and loved it. The group was bigger than I expected but it was fun and the people are so nice. Hope to meet you. I will see what I can do to get my picture posted here before the meeting so we can try and find each other.

I live in Lenexa and I just got approved to be banded at Shawnee Mission Hospital by Dr. Hoehn. Don't have a date yet.

Looking forward to finally meeting some of you on Saturday! How's everyone holding up??

It's been so hard going through what everyone calls Bandster Hell. It really is difficult to eat correctly and small portions. I'm looking to the future where my good decisions become good habits and I don't have to try and control myself so much. I will automaticately be and eat healthy. :blushing:

Happy Friday!!

I will be there tomorrow as well. I am on day two of the pre-op diet and so far so good. Last night was a little hard due to the fact that my oldest daughter had softball practice and I swung by McDonald's to get her dinner on the way and had to smell it all the way from Olathe to Overland Park. You know what is funny about it....I have not ate a fast food burger in over 6 months but last night I could have scarfed that thing down. lol.

Hang in there Kendra! Believe or not, the pre-op goes by pretty fast after the first couple of days. Great job of just saying NO to McD's!!

Kendra - Day 3 of pre-op was the toughest for me. After that, it became routine and easier. Hang in there - it will be worth it.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
