So I was supposed to be banded today...and now I am home watching TV and eating some deli meat. CANCELLED!! My husband and I were up at the crack of dawn. Got ready. Got our small kids up and to a friends house. Headed to the hospital. Checked in. In my pretty gown. Stuck 3 times because the nurse could not get the iv started. A bag of fluids in me, antibiotics. Saw the doctor...then the OR nurse came in. Problem with the heating. So the maintaince guys were in there. Once they were done, 18 minutes until we can head in. I guess it takes 18 mins until they have the room ready again. Well then my surgeon comes in...problem can not be fixed. They need a part. Well I live in an isolated area, Juneau AK. So the part has to be flown in from Seattle!! My surgeon wants toreschedule for Friday, which won't work, since my husband has this whole week off and can not change it (needs of the military come first). So she squeezed me in for the first surgery tomorrow, UNLESS the OR is not fixed. Then Wednesday afternoon which now makes me sleeping over!!! So I am not banded, lets hope a better day tomorrow. If something else like this happens I might call the whole thing off! So fingers crossed the part gets here today!!! (we are in the middle of a snow storm too!)

Oh Lorabeth...that just plain sucks!! Hope tomorrow brings you better news!

Good luck to all the bandsters going in this week. Question for the group: I am 12 days post-op, NO fill as of yet but I have noticed that I can't consume no more than about 6oz then I am feeling so full. Is that normal with no fill??? Also, I am finding it hard to consume all my of 64ozs of Water.< /p>

I do go for my 2 week check up on Wednesday....

Yes, I am losing weight!!! and yes the pain is gone. Somedays I have a little back pain but I think that might be some gas also. Thanks for asking though. Everyday is a better day and I am so glad I had this done.

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
