BandedNellie, karmaandkismet, cece1967, I hope things went well with you guys today. Looking to hear from you when you start to fill better.

Tomorrow looks like the larges amount of people will be banded. I hope the following ones will have a fast recovery after being banded tomorrow, rkwilliams1013, Run Girl Run, pooky032281, ahlmanfamily, Loyalfriend, spitfireleo, Lanah, kydman*. It's 8 of you all together.

Cathy, I'm starting to get a little inpatient, Last night to my surprise, I got a call from the surgeons office, saying I have a 9:30 appointment

on 9/7/10. I hope he will be submitting my paper work then. I hope a pray. My last visit with him I was told to have my PCP to Fax all my weigh ins for the last pass two years. Today I had an appointment with her, and I was told she did fax the papers to him. After he submit the paper work then I'll be nervous until I see if I'm approved or not. Oh well we will see.

I just got my letter from my heart specialist. Now I'm ready in one week to put in my paper work. I probably won't be banded in September. Time is going so slow!!

Well, its less than 12 hours for me now...I can't wait! The nervousness is setting in, but the excitement is taking over. I had my last pre-op shake about 6pm for dinner, and been chugging Water ever since until midnight....

I had my pre-op appt yesterday, with blood draw, EKG, and Lovenox. Anyone else have to inject the blood thinners the night before surgery and daily for a week after? Surgery is scheduled for the 8th. I am now at 225.7, down from all time high of 235.5 lbs. The nurse asked me yesterday why I didn't seem excited. I guess because I was nervous and cranky on low carb liver diet. Hope everyone else is doing well. Good luck to all 1st weekers. Thinking about all of you and am looking forward to your first postband posts.

Hi Wanna.B. I know this liquid diet is really hard the 1st week but the 2nd week does not seem so bad...maybe my body is used to STARVING!!!:thumbup:

My friend had to also do this diet for as long as us, I am guessing each Dr. has their way of doing things pre-surgery.. I am wondering if after band if you still get the same hunger pains as we do now....anyone??:)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
