December Bandsters (Early Xmas present)



Recommended Posts

I decided to only tell my mother. My mom certainly isn't a vault when it comes to keeping secrets but she knows that I am a private person and don't want to share this with anyone. I hope she throws away the key on it!

LOL...I completely understand what you are saying. I specifically didn't tell my father because he can't keep a secret to save his life. If he knows then everyone he has ever met in his life will know too...that's just the way he is...

Supposed to be banded tomorrow (Nov. 2) but got postponed due to tonisilitis. Hopefully, I'll be banded mid-December

I should be banded in early December too! I am really excited and as you can see from my name I am ready for a NewBee --new me. I have only told my husband, mother and one friend. I really don't want it to go further than that but I am trying to figure how I will hide my eating pureed food over the holiday. I suppose I could pretend my stomach hurts or something and not eat....

I hope we all can chat about our experience as Dec10 group!

I was tentatively scheduled for Nov 23rd but I got the call yesterday that it is most definitely going to be December 8th. Now I'm set in stone!!!

My birthday is Nov 20th so I was hoping to get it done sooner, but I'm not going to complain!!

Good luck all! :rolleyes:

I, too, am going to be a December "bandster". Just got my date of December 7th. I'm so excited and also consider this to be an early Christmas present. My doctor usually requires a 10-14 day pre-op liquid diet, but I only have to do it for 7 days because I've lost 25 pounds already. I'm glad to be having a "normal" Thanksgiving and hopefully be well enough to participate in my usual Christmas activities (well, except for the overeating. ha ha ha).

I feel like a little kid waiting for Santa!

      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... :(
