Hello from Missouri

This is just the post I was looking for! I am going through this journey as I have completed all the testing and finishing out my 6 month WW plan. My BMI is a whopping 42, I have pre-hypertension and knee aches every time I climb or go down stairs due to my weight. I informed my husband, closest friends to help support me through this process. My immediate family does not support but I am not around them much luckily. I am extremely fearful as I have never had any procedures done but I am so ready to get this process started. I will definitely be needing support and would love to support others out there

Nice to meet you Breeze! Wish you the best with your surgery! You will do great. So what part of Missouri are you from?

Hello everyone! I am interested in getting to know some new friends who are just starting out on this journey of being banded. Who else out there needs some support of someone else going through the same thing that they are? Let's do this together!

Hi there, my surgery is Dec 1st, and I'm just a little nervous...YIKES, but I'm so done with this lifestyle. I just joined this forum today. I am not telling a lot of people about my surgery and I just moved from one side of Canada to the other so I know no one in which to confide my fears and excitement about my re invention of myself.

This is proving to be a wonderful place to find others going through my exact same emotions, I do not feel so alone reading of others experiences. There are also some truly inspiring role models out there :D

Hey there! I'm just staring my journey as well. I attended the seminar on Sept 10 and had my first consult Oct 12. I'm going through a 6 month medically supervised diet, my next appointment being Nov 15. I'd love to have and BE a support person!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
