I don't have my date yet.. but was told yesterday afternoon that it would be in April :) I have a psychiatric evaluation on the 23rd of this month, and the scheduling angel told me that if the psychiatrist would call her with a verbal clearance on that day she would schedule me on April's calendar! So...... hopefully in two weeks I will be able to say I have my April surgery day too B) SO excited!

Don't have my actual date yet, but told it will be done in April! I only need one more clearance and that's with the Lung doctor. I've gone through the nutritional classes, heart doctor this week, stress test yesterday and Lung doctor on the 31st. I'm so excited to know that in another month, my life will be changing. Best of luck to everyone!

Hello everyone,

I wish you all luck on your upcoming journey. I should have an April date as I am almost done with all my pre-op testing.

I am just a little nervous because this is my second time around doing this. The first time I had a slippage and had the band removed in 07 and decided to try again on my own.

As you can see, I was not very successful with that approach. I am actually in a worse position now than I was the first time around with more co morbidites too.

So, anyway, I am praying for April ;) Hopefully we can all discuss our surgery together.

Talk to you soon

Good Luck

:rolleyes:

I AM SOOOOOO EXCITED!!! April 12th is my date. Counting down the days and planning for the journey! Let's all stick together regarding updates. I can't wait to get on the other side. Here's something funny, alot of ladies on youtube name their band. I've been trying to think of a name for mine. What do you think?? Let's name our bands people....

My banding is scheduled for April 26th :)

The only thing I'm worried about is that I have to do the liquids for 3 weeks prior to surgery... I hope I don't feel hungry because that will seem like a long time to me.... my husband and a few of my trusted co-workers are on-board with helping me though. Between them and you guys here I think I will have enough motivation and support to stick to it :)

Lets definetly all stay in touch and keep each other motivated :D

Good luck to everyone being banded in April!

Faith

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
