Introduction



Recommended Posts

Where is everyone?, I guess there were not alot of people for the month of August. Well I just wanted to introduce myself; my name is Sharmaine and I join the loser team on 08/26/2010 .... so far this has been of the best decisions i have ever made for myself. Before the pre-op diet i was 275lbs, after the pre op diet the day of surgery i was 251, and now 3 weeks after surgery i am 235lbs....yay me.....

There is another forum under Post-op that is called "August Rush in Bandland". There are quite a few bandsters who had surgery in August, including me.

Hey August Bandsters, I haven't been on the site much lately but since it has been months figure I should check in. Doing good and over the half way mark for my goal weight. How is everyone else doing?

Hello Maryjaja. I got this forwarded to my inbox today and feel like maybe I am supposed to respond. I haven't been on the forum in a very long time. I was banded on August 3, 2010. I lost nearly 75 lbs but went back to old habits and ways of coping with stress and realized today that I have gained 50 back. : (

Praying you do well with picking up on your journey!

      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!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
