Not banded yet. Still working on it. Trying to get more info on it to make sure this is the right way to go. Everyone here sounds so positive about their decision. Congratulations to you all. If anyone reads this I would truly like to know before I have the surgery if you wish that you would have taken another route--and if so, which one? I guess I really have the heebie-jeebies.

I have no regrets at all. I woke up hungry yesterday and it hit me that I haven't felt the sensation of a hunger pang in months. Truly great. I was talking to my sister-in-law about her latest diet and all I could think about was how great it felt to not have to count points or eat pre-packaged foods. Good luck with your decision - I know it's a hard one.

Hi Everybody, So glad to hear from you all. Really appreciate the input. I think I have made up my mind and it looks like maybe Feb 17 for me. I will be meeting the doctor in 10 days for my consultation. If all goes well, it's Feb. Happy Valentines day to me. lol p.s. I've decided on Toronto, much easier than Mexico!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
