I just thought of something funny. You know how they tell us that we MUST shrink our liver or they won't do the band? I did everything I was supposed to and I lost 15 pounds so I really had nothing to worry about but I was still worried.

The recovery room nurse woke me and said they are all done. I said you mean I have my band? She said yes maam and you did great. 5 minutes later I looked at her and said I know I've already asked you this but you did say my band is in their right? LOL She smiled and said she thought it was time for my family to come in b/c I was definitely waking up good. LOL

Hey, Jen! Yes, I am getting nervous and questioning my decision but I am determined to do this and change my life. What time is your surgery? Mine is at 9am. Would love to keep in touch to see how you are doing.

That is really cute. It made me smile big and remind me of a time that I had my wisdom teeth pulled and all I could do was smile with the gauze hanging out. How are you feeling today?

Diane, mine's at 7 am. I wanted it over as early in the morning as they would do it! I wanted NO chance of having to stay in the hospital if I didn't have to!

Congrats to all who have had their surgery and doing well.

Special Hello to Amanda (spoiltmom) , I am so glad you are home and doing well. I know it wasn't easy but you did it.

I wish you all the best that are having surgery within the next couple of days.

I'm going in for my pre-op today. I hope it's uneventful and my PCP clears me for my surgery on the 16th. I so want to be on the other side and starting to work my band.

      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.
