So I have been reading this forum and signed up but haven't posted because I figured it would make me sad if I got denied. My seminar was 3/3/11 and I have my surgery 5/13/11. I am currently on the clear liquid fast diet for 7 days. So far I have lost 12 lbs in 5 days...not to bad. Not looking forward to the 4 week clear liguid diet with the addition of V8 juice after surgery. Seems so long especially when others don't have to do it before or that long after surgery. But I am going to follow the directions go end to me to make the most of this opportunity I have to become healthy. Best of luck to us all!!!

Hello!

I'm getting my band May 19. Excited but a little nervous. It surreal. I have waited so long, two years as I was trying other approaches, though, I really just wanted the band. Now, it is here and it is like wow. It is really starting to sink in. I need go back and start re reading all the notes and advice I have been collect from everyone who has gone before me. It cannot come son enough!!!

Vu!!!

I was banded yesterday, May 11th. Was in quite a lot of pain at first, lots of nausea too. Better now, except for the gas. Yeowtch!! I'm walking, but it's too painful to do it for more than two circuits at a time. I know I kept hearing about it from other members, but it's like birth -- until it happens to you you can't really know what it's like!:boom:

Well, the fastest way is to pay cash! But if you are doing it the insurance way, you've got to jump through the hoops....my hoops included 6 months of meetings, 3 physical therapy appts., 3 psych appts, and multiple blood tests, a chest x-ray and EKG....and I am healthy! It's just what my insurance co. (Blue Shield) and/or my medical group (Mercy Med Group in Sacramento) requires. But as frustrating and unnecessary as it all is, the time actually comes. My surgery is scheduled for May 26th! So hang in there, and try not to get discouraged. Good luck!

Best of luck to you tomorrow! I'd check about the 4 weeks of liquid only after surgery. It does sound a little excessive. I get my surgery May 26. I only have to do the liquid for one week post surgery, then graduated "thickness" each week after that. Looking forward to hearing how the surgery goes for you, your experiences after that! Positive thoughts coming your way!

      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.

      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!!
