Hi, I'm Tina. I'm supposed to be banded at the end of April( no date yet). I'm very excited, and slightly nervous. I'd love to have someone to help me stay on track, and to go through the ups and downs I'm sure are to come. I'm very determined to do this right and make the most of it. I'm sure the necessary change in diet is going to be the hardest part as I love Pasta and pasteries! But, determined I am, so I'd love help doing what's best for me!

I meet w/ surgeon next Tuesday to schedule the big day and hopefully I will be on board with the April bandsters!!

Hi Kayla! My name is Tina, and I live in Bedford, Tx so we're almost next door neighbors. I don't have a date set yet, but they told me mid to end of April. It's kinda comforting to know there's someone really close going through it too. Do you have anyone to exercise with? By exercise I mostly mean walking for now. Maybe we can help each other through this?

All of my paperwork is being submitted to insurance this week.... I have my fingers crossed that I will be able to join all of you as an April Bandster! Good Luck everyone.

I just had mine done on Friday, April 1. I am so excited! The pain is already much better, I still have swelling, and only felt hunger for the first time today.

I usually don't give any credence to horoscopes in the paper but mine last week in the Austin Chronicle was interesting, it said:

"Your rescue is scheduled for no later than your birthday, possibly before. In the meantime, the best thing you can do to prepare for your release is to feel gratitude for all you've learned during your ordeal."

The next day I got a call from the surgeon's scheduler. The first available date they had for my lapband procedure was April 7th, my birthday. I said "I'll take it." I'm regarding it as a new beginning.

Good luck to everyone on their surgeries!

GOOSEBUMPS! It's a sign - Good Luck to us...

I am just starting my pre-appointments tomorrow. I have three this week and one next week. Then I meet with the surgeon I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I have about 150 lbs to lose, but I would be happy with 100, or just about anything.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
