Well I Did it...I am banded



Recommended Posts

Well yesterday was the big day. I got my band. I was almost ready the day before to back out and not have it done...but pushed through. Once I got to the hospital I was a bit nervous, but the staff were awesome. I was banded in Cancun, and must say it has been a great experience. My surgery was at 6:30pm and was awake in recovery by 7:40 and wanted to get up and walk around. Went to my room, watched some tv and went to sleep. Woke up this morning at 7am and took a shower and did some walking around. I am now back at the hotel enjoying the nice warm weather before I catch my flight back to Canada tomorrow!! All is all so far a good experience!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
