Hello

I'm new here. Thought I should introduce my self. I live in the quad city area in IL. I'm 47 now but I will be 48 by the time I have my surgery, Which is May 2, 2012. I'm having the lap band done. I'm starting to get nervous now that I have a date and time for the surgery. I'm sure I will be fine. I think every one gets a little scared when it comes to surgery. So I'm hoping to lose 105lbs. And I'm hoping to do so in a years time. So is that realistic? I would love to find a buddy or maybe even a few buddies, I could be a email buddy, cell phone buddy and a local buddy. So if any one is looking for a buddy , here I am!

Well about the only thing you know about me is my age and type of surgery I'm having. ha! ha ok here is a little about me. I'm married and have been for 15 great years now. I work for a trucking co. as a dispatcher. I like my job a lot. My husband also works at the same place. I have one grown daughter that I love dearly but she believes i love my other two adopted kids more than her,their names are Precious - is my little girl and Dopey is my little boy and they both are yorkies. I have been over weight my whole life. Ok it's getting late I better get to bed. Thanks for letting me babble on and on.

Debbie

Welcome, I am also a May Bandster. 5/22/12......

Read the post with all the people who have lost 100 plus. It is awesome! I try to read positive things and try to avoid the negative stuff or at least balance what I read so that I get a realistic expectation of the possible negative side as well as the hope from the positive side.

Best wishes! We should "friend each other".

Bel12 I think alot has to do with your surgeon and insurance. My surgeon makes every one go on a 6 month diet before even submitting the insurance papers. So I guess you just need to check with your surgeon.

      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.
