I personally think those are just small fears compared to the significant benefits the band will give you!!

I have those fears too but I ignore them because I am just too damn excited to be healthy again!

@Rainenroses - I did the same thing you did. I went to a seminar 2 years ago, loved the surgeons and put it off because of the same fears. How I wish I could take it back because in those 2 years time frame I developed severe arthritis in my left hip and the weight only made it worse to where I will have to have another hip replaced ( I had my right hip replaced many years ago). Imagine being in my 40's having both my hips replaced like an 80 year old! The main thing is, that is the past and we learn from our mistakes, we don't have to beat ourselves up anymore. You've made the right decision, and I know I have as well. Whatever the outcome is we will fight to keep ourselves fit and healthy, and most importantly never give up on ourselves.

Keep us posted on your progress,

-Patty

      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.
