I'm done! The two year journey to get banded was over Friday the third. Now I'm on the rest of the journey to a healthy me. I'm down 24 pounds from preop dieting. That leaves 70 to 80 pounds to go. I'm ready to get well into this segment of the journey.

This weekend has not been bad. I Stayed high most of the weekend from my Dr 's well prescribed loritab.

I have not told my parents or extended family about the surgery. I figure anouther 20 or 30 pounds they will start to ask. I don't have a supportive relationship with family. Or I should say extended family so its not like I lean on them much. That's what my bride is for anyway! She has been supportive and amazing throughout.

On the ney sayer front. A cousin who is an OR nurse called me Saturday to ask how I was doing and how he couldn't believe I had "THAT PROCEDURE " done. His wife is also an OR nurse and works at the hospital I had my surgery. After his 2 or 3 condescending remarks about lap band failure and maintenance required to be successful I decided to discuss the hippa law. I'm quite sure I made my point.

To the rest of the August bandsters, good luck and don't sweat it. So much more to say but the loritab is taking my thoughts and concentration.

Mike

I've received my approval after denial appeal now the dr just need to submit my fmla paperwork. I'm scheduled for 8-13 1 week to go. I've been on my presurgery diet since July 19th no weight loss and definetly tired of it but I'm being good I have not broken. I think I'm more scared of the 2 week post-op diet Protein no carbs blended.

      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!!
