So amazing to be Banded!!!!



Recommended Posts

It's almost a year since I've been banded 10/28/09 and I'm down 60lbs!!! I've never felt or looked better and I do look good. When people ask me was the WLS worth it, I respond HECK YES, should have had it sooner. The only bad thing is having to buy new clothes but is that really a bad thing? I'm only 30lbs to my goal and I know that I will make it. Just wanted to share my success story with everyone.

I agree, it is amazing.

Just remember to buy clothes for NOW.

Don't be tempted to buy a summer outfit in the winter because it is in the sale because you might find it is too big when summer comes...that is the lesson I have learnt:)

      Happy Wednesday!
       
      I hope everyone is having a lovely week so far! 
      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
