Hey all,

This is my first post! (Yay!) My band date is Apr 21. I went from feeling frustrated that it was taking so long to get here, to now feeling anxious/nervous about it! (anyone else have that same feeling?) Id love to stay in touch with any of you April'ers that want to go through the journey together!

I just had my freak put on a leash yesterday! Surgery was very easy, pleasant. Having some discomfort but no trouble with the liquid intake. Never thought broth and Jello would EVER taste so amazing!!! Good luck and love to all my 4/11 bandster buds! Let's get our shrink on!

After being denied from my insurance and going through a long appeals process, I am SO HAPPY to say I was finally approved and my surgery is scheduled for 4/22/2011. Although I am extremely excited, I am nervous. But excited! Hooray!! Good luck to all of you that are getting your surgery soon!

Hi! I just posted for my first time tonight. I am feeling the same way, I am so excited but once I got the date (earlier today), I started to feel a little nervous! I hope everything goes really well for you, and let's keep in touch if you like, my date is 4/22/11. Good Luck!

Just found out today that my surgery date is April 21st. I am excited and sooo nervous. I would like to be friends with anyone here and give each other encouragement and support. Everyone on these boards seems so friendly and helpful. I have no extended family nearby and have decided not to tell the ones living far away. No one in my family has as big of a weight problem as me..and they probably would say I can do it on my own. Also, my Mum would worry herself silly about it. I may tell them in a few months when I go home. I wish all of you who have had or are having surgery in April all the best .

How are all my fellow April bandsters doing? My surgery date was April 6th, I weighed 250 lbs. the day of surgery and as of today, April 25th, I'm down to 231 lbs.! How's everyones's meal plan going? I just started softs this week as per my surgeon and am returning to work tomorrow. Anyone else still have soreness at their port sight when bending and reaching??

      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.
