GREG~~~ You live in Anniston?? Have we met? I live in Jacksonville..... hmmmm where do you work???

My name is Kanina Im 28years old...

I was banded Jan 2008 by Dr. Black.

I have lost 110lbs however last summer I had to have my band unfilled and had my gallbladder taken out...d/t reflux BUT i still have reflux so my band can only be minimally filled :-( But I am happy to say I am back on my way and within the last month I have lost 15lbs of what I gained over the summer!

AND I agree it is way too quiet on these boards we need to keep posting and keep supporting!!!!!

My goal is a size 9/10 like I was in highschool and IM ALMOST There.

I plan to have brachioplasty this year or next and after I have kids I will do a total mommy makeover with Tummy Tuck, thigh lift, and boob job!!!

Kanning don't know if you remember me but we have chatted on here a long time ago...Do you still get to see Jason?

Talking about a tummy tuck and boob lift , my wife will probabbly have those done in April. Don't know the dr's name but his clinic is on Ft. McClellan. I think she get them both done for $7200.

By the way if you get the time...the Zumba class up at the Fitness Center will get the pounds off.....They work you hard.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
