Tomorrow's the BIG DAY!!! I can't believe its finally here!



Recommended Posts

I can't believe the day is finally here that I've been waiting for, for so long!!! My surgery is at 9:45 tomorrow at St. Agnes in Baltimore, we have to be there 2-hours ahead so that means we'll have to leave home around 5:30am. I live in Delaware, so its about a 2-hour drive, which isn't going to be fun. Trying to get my husband out of bed that earlier, really isn't going to be fun! LOL

I started thinking back when I first started looking into the band, and it was around 2003. It's now 2011, and I'm finally making it happen!! I'm so excited, but so nervous at the same time! I just hope the pain isn't too bad, I'm a big baby when it comes to pain! Anyhow, please keep me in your prayers as I keep all others in mine.

Thanks so much to everyone!!! This site is great for encouragement and support!! For those that are close to your date, best of luck to you! To those who still have a ways to go, just remember we've all been in your shoes and totally understand what its like to wait and wait. In fact, I was suppose to have surgery on May 27th and got a call the week before that said the insurance company denied it. To make a long story short, I had to change doctors and now having my surgery in Baltimore. But in the long run, I'm sure God knows best and that's the way I accepted it. To those who have already been banded, continued success to you!! I'm sure I'll be back on over the weekend, so I'll let you know how things go!!

Thanks a bunch for your support and God Speed to you all!

It's funny but I think I'm nuts if I don't do it.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
