Hi Cherry...I was banded 2 months ago (May 26th) and have lost 30 lbs so far. How about you? Are you banded yet and how are you doing? This is a great place for information.

Hey Jodi2523,

Congrads on your success with the band. 30 pounds in 2 months that's what I’m talking about. I am not banded (YET). I am just beginning the process. I'm actually attending the seminar on August 17, 2010 and I suppose shortly after that it will be determined the additional appointments required for me and then my approval.

I'm lucky my insurance doesn't require the 7 months of weigh in’s like several others do. It appears I will still have a 3 or 4 month wait on any procedure happening for me. I'm looking at the big picture it will happen at some point but until then I will be reading and educating myself...

Nice to meet you Jodi 2523

      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? 🤷‍♀️
