11 Days To Surgery



Recommended Posts

Hello all. I am a 34 and morbidly obese. I am 226 lbs right now. I am in my pre- op diet phase. My Lapband surgery is on Februaru 17. I am so ready for this tool to be placed in me for my future health and success. I have wanted this surgery for about 7 years now, and now that it almost time for my surgery I can hardly stand the anticipation. I am ready for all of the steps of the journey. I am sure I will have good and bad days, but I am sure that there will be more good than bad. Good luck to all of you, and God bless.

Congratulations! Welcome to Bandster land and a healthier life. I was banded 12/29 and like you couldn't wait for my day to arrive. I was never nervous, apprehesive or scared. Just so excited and ready to do this! I had to have 3-6 months supervised weight loss 42# and 20 since surgery. I feel so much better physically, mentally and emotionally and so will you. Good luck and we're here for you.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
