Hello October Bandsters. I thought I would start us a post-op group now that we are getting ready to start out second week of banders. I know we are all going to do GREAT. We will all be loosers this month!!!! If you are having a bad day dont hold it in. This is where we can let it out. If we stick together we will go far. We can do this ladys and gents. I know we can. Set a goal for yourself and let everyone know what it is so we can help each other meet that goal.

My goal is to walk/run a 5k by one year post op. I hope to meet that before then but I am not going to pressure myself to meet a goal that is not realistic. I know myself and if I set goals I cant meet I will give up.

Good luck to all of you.

YAY! I did request to join so hopefully will be in there with you all soon!

Can someone repost the group link for us? There's too many pages to sort through

Hi everyone~

Its been a while since I have posted. Just wanted to update you on my progress. I was banded mid October 2011. I am down 52 pounds. I have only had one band tightening so far and they only filled it with a half of a cc due to vomiting. I have to say the vomiting seems to be getting worse but I am holding out hope. I don't feel bad at all. I actually feel really good but somedays (most days) nothing wants to stay down. It is frustrating but what are ya gonna do? I am due to go back for a tightening this month but not sure how much they will be able to fill it due to the vomiting. I do want to mention a wonderful, wonderful discovery. At my 3 month check up my lab values were worse than ever before. My vitamins were off and my cholesterol was was 270 (total) I was introduced to ADVOCARE products. Long story short....I started taking there vitamins and drinking their products called Spark (best thing every created!!!!) In 6 weeks time all of my viatmins are perfect and my cholesterol has dropped 50 points and still declining. I decided to take a leap of faith and sell these products to others. It has changed our lives (mine, my husband, and my children) We are all new people...truly. If any of you out there are having similar issues just let me know and I can direct you in the right direction to get you started. I am a healthcare professional and the thing that sold me was that the med/science board that creates these products are world renowned. Its people that we use there stuff in the hospital daily. Its not just JOHN DOE creating a gimmick.
