I had surgery on 2/17/12 at Baptist Hospital in Memphis, TN with Dr. Woodman. A little sore today but not too bad.

I am starting at 295. Ready to change my life

Congratulations on your decision to change your life. I have had my band over three years now and I would NOT change a thing. Do everything that your Doctor tells you to do and dont listen to the garbage out there. It is a life changing event and if you follow the advice of your Dr you will do just fine. I was an insulin dependent type II diabetic when I got my band I wore an insulin pump for over 10 yrs taking approx 100 units a day via pump.... I am well no longer requiring any medication at all. It is an awesome journey. If you look at it as a life change and have your mindset right you can do it! Good luck to you.

      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.

      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!!
