I met with Dr. Jay here in Dallas and I absolutely loved everyone that I met there! He has 4 lap-banders that currently work in his office. I'm going to wait until just after the first of the year! WOO HOO!!! :banana

It's a big decision . . . but after I decided, I became increasingly excited and hopeful about the results to come! Welcome to Band Land! You've made a decision that so many of us are happy that we made as well!

I was in Weds for a 3:00 appt! What time were you there? I was talking to a lady whom was banded 2 wks ago and she said that she was feeling great! A few others were newbies like me with the stack of paperwork to fill out! Haha We may have seen each other! :)

I just thought of something...someone came in for just pre-surgery stuff...blonde hair...maybe it was you! hehe Congrats on your upcoming surgery!!

I have to go to Portland for my dr's. appt., and I didn't dream that it might only be a few weeks before surgery. I was thinking I had to go on a waiting list or something. I will be thrilled if I go back 2 weeks later for the surgery. I am oh so ready. All tests are completed and I'm good to go....

Karen, I was in there around 3:30. You're right blonde hair, didn't have money for parking, there was a plano teacher and her friend in the waiting room, and right after I got there someone was called in that I didn't get a chance to talk to. Haha, how funny is that.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
