Hi Everyone -

I have been lurking around this board for quite sometime - my name is Angela and I started my process (seminar) in May of 2010 and was banded on 1/5/2011. So far I am down about 26 lbs, and feeling great. I am so glad that this board is here - I have been reading on a few different ones, but they are either boards that are for all WLS types where RNY seems to rule to board, or other boards that have so many negative posts from "outsiders" that is it is depressing. It's good to have a place where I can be a part of a community of people just like me :) I look forward to getting to know you all better - and hopefully providing support & encouragement as well.

Angela

Angela, Welcome, I just joined recently and it is wonderful the support and answers to question you can find here. You were banded on my actual BD. My band is scheduled for 3/31, awaiting the start of my new life. Best of luck to you as you continue your journey. Celeste

Annie & Celeste -

Thank you both for your kind words. I am VERY excited about my band - and have been working very hard to make the most of it. I started doing cardio every other day two weeks ago and it seems to be helping a lot. I have not had my 1st fill yet so my weight loss is dwindling, but I am losing inches :) If there is anything that I can suggest to anyone as they start out it is to take your measurements! I took mine before surgery and then one month from that date and I had lost 27 inches - talk about a huge motivational boost!

Reverie -

I am amazed at your loss in less than a years time - that is so inspiring! I really hope that I have a success story like yours :) What did you do? Do you have any tips? I am curious about what your diet and exercise regimen have been. If you don't mind of course! :)

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
