I'm quite a ways north of Dayton, about halfway between Dayton and Lima, but going to Premier Bariatrics (Good Sam/Miami Valley) for my surgery. I saw a thread from a while ago by some Dayton people, but it doesn't look like any of them are still active on here... I would love some local folks to talk to!

Hi!! Welcome to the lap band boards. I am in the dayton area too. I had my surgery on December 16th. I see you should be recovering about now since it says your surgery is on the 25th of April. I hope all is well. If you need advice or help this board is a great place. Just try not to compare yourself to others toooooo much. Would love to hear how you are doing after your surgery.

Best wishes,

Diana

I live just about 15 minutes north of Dayton. I've been banded since Sept'08 and I've done horrible since having my baby almost 10 months ago. I'm starting over again. Going to get a fill tomorrow and would really LOVE to talk to people who are in the same area (generally) and who understand the struggles with being banded.

I am almost at my six month mark and really feel like I could be doing better. I really need to get back to the doctor and get another fill. I need to also get back into my routine of walking and the gym. I really think I should have more in my band by now. I feel that my doctor could put more in when I get filled. So, I think it is just a slow process for me.

Anyway, It is glad to know that there is local people on here to talk to. Hope everyone is going great and stay positive!!!!

Wish it was going better for you - i agree go get the fills - they did it slowly for me too but it was worth not rushing it in the end - until you hit restriction it's just like any other diet you've been on. Stay patient and regularly see your doc for those fills and you will get there. I couldn't overeat now if i wanted to!

Great to see everyone from around the area. I am doing a little better. Still need more restriction but just have not had time to schedule a fill. I have also been trying to get pregnant so I am just trying to pace myself. I have lost 10 more pounds maybe more. I haven't weighed in for a few weeks. I feel great so who knows.

I wish you the best on your surgery. Just remember its a process. It takes time and hard work. liquids will be your friend for a little while.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
