Hello

My name is Sandi but I go by D. I just joined LPT today. We attended a seminar last Saturday but had already done lots of research and were sure this was the right surgery. I had my pre-op screening, EKG, Pulmonary function test, and lab work this week. I am having an EGD on Monday to see if I have a Hiatal Herina, if so my insurance will pay for that surgery and my band will be half price. My insurance BCBS of OK, has an all out ban on any bariatric surgery nonod.gif Foolish really, as the long-term benefits are so positive. We attended a seminar last Saturday but had already done lots of research and were sure this was the right surgery. My surgery is scheduled for March 2nd and I am so excited. I look forward to sharing my progress and learning about others, good and bad. It is clear by reading the posts that there is no clear expectation of "typical" weight loss. That just reinforces the fact that this is a "process" not a "procedure"! My biggest issue will be giving up Diet Coke, breads, and Pasta.< /p>

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
