Welcome Carol !!!! I think you will like this group, they are all very supportive. If you have any questions please let us know.

I remember how difficult it was to wait for the surgery date. Hang in there!!! It won't be long long now until you are on your way to better health. Is you doctor asking you to lose weight prior to the surgery?

My name is Karen and I live in NW Indiana. I am 62 years old and still working; however, I am truly looking forward to retirement in the next few years. I am a widow, and have two kids and three grandsons. My daughter, and her family live two and half hours away, with my six year old grandson. My son and his family live in Maryland with my 5 year old and two year old grandson.

As you can see from my ticker, I was banded nearly two years ago. It is truly the best thing I did for myself. It is amazing how much better I feel. My joints don't hurt all the time and I have the energy of someone at least 10 years younger.

I wish you much success on your journey.

:redface:

Karen

Hi Karen, Thanks for the encouraging words. I've only lost 12 lbs. but have my pre-op diet coming up in June.

My diabetes is so improved with this small loss. (less insulin and improved blood work):redface:!!

I'm kind of going thru a Mourning the loss of my best friend "Food" this week. Just a small BUMP in the road. I am really very excited about having less pain in my ankles, feet and back. It will be nice having more energy so I can start moving. Have a Great Weekend, Carol D'

Hi Nice to meet all of you. I'm Angela, i live outside Portland Oregon and am so excited about my upcoming LAP-BAND® surgery. I am scared and hopeful all at once. Does it hurt much?

Welcome Angela! When is the date of your surgery? I didn't think it hurt too much, and I also had two hernia repairs at the same time. I was feeling pretty much like my old self in four days. I spent one night in the hospital because of the hernia repairs. Honestly, the first day I came home, I thought "What did I do to myself?". Then the next day I was much better.

Tell us a little bit about yourself.

Karen

Hi and WELCOME to the group...

You will be fine , its natural to be a little scared , I was the same right up until I walked into the hospital , then I was quite calm...

No problems at all post op . just follow your surgeon/dietitions guide lines...

I was very tired and slept a lot the first few days but soon bounced back to my old self ..I am very happy to have made this choice to become a Bandit....I bet you will be too...My knees thank me everytime I go for a walk wvwn though I have just lost 18kilo`s and have a long way to go I am so Happy, good luck on the new journy of your life.....

      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.
