October 2010 Bandsters!!



Recommended Posts

I was banded October 29th and had my first follow up appointment on November 12th. I have lost 14 lbs so far (as of the 12th) and while I should be happy with that, so many people on here lost so much more. I am trying hard not to compare my experience with other peoples experiences, but it is a little disappointing when I know that I didn't cheat at all and I am still continuing as directed. I can start exercising on Friday (19th) which I am actually looking forward to. Me next appointment is December 10th and I hoping to be down at least 30lbs total by then. We will see. How is everyone else doing on their journey?;)

Texasdream, don't worry too much about your weight loss. I was banded on10/18 and I have only lost 21 lbs.. It was discouraging until I realized that's not too bad and it's not going away overnite (but I wish). I've not been able to walk like I should and that is a disadvantage. So, if you're not walking, and you can, get out and walk a little every day until you can work up to about an hour. Take care. Blessings, PitPat ;)

Texasdream try not to get discouraged, I know how you feel but I read alot of people dont really start losing until restriction comes back into play. Just try to eat right and stay on course until it happens...this too shall pass:smile2:

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
