Recommended Posts

I get my band on Tues.!! I'm not nervous yet just excited! I have to work my part time job all week-end and then last day of school MOn, the part time again on Mon evening. Surgery at 8:00 on Tues. moning. There isn't any time to get nervous... also no time to grocery shop. I don't have all my liquids ready to go yet. Guess I'll have to do that tomorrow after 6. I'm getting banded by Dr. Colquitt in Maryville, Tn at the Blount Memorial Hospital.

hello everybody, i just got back from mexico from having surgery with dr rumbaut on may 11th. many people were there at the same time from the states. i lost 21.5 lbs in 10 days on the liquid diet (last 3 days of that were clear liquids). had several minor problems (none of them medical),with hotel, etc., but overall was good. dr r. and staff are very good, friendly, and kind. nursing care at hosp. could have been better though. now i have 3 weeks of full liquids ahead of me, then soft foods.

i am glad to be back home and enjoyed looking over the posts i missed while gone. good luck to all may bandsters!!!:clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

Hey babyjane are you from the northwest?? My wife and I were both banded the 11th by Dr. Rumbaut. We are having good results. Good luck!!!!

Good luck to all those who are getting bands this week!! I'm doing pretty well on my liquids. I had 1/2 a pickle, that's been my cheat. I'm a little hungry, but I know it's for a good cause.

Hey Merry May'ers!

I had a huge NSV this weekend...

I saw friends I haven't seen since about a month before surgery. When I got out of the car at their house, one of the folks said...

"Oh my! Your face is getting skinny!"

Yes, I'm glowing....:confused:

Laura Par - NSV = Non-scale victory. I.e. old clothes now fit. Someone didn't recognize you. An unexpected compliment. You can walk farther, etc.

NSV is a non surgical victory. Smaller size, loose rings, crossing your legs. Perks from losing weight.

Heresdeb,

I would definately call my doctor, or of your surgeon isn't local, call your primary care and make an appointment. You might just be experiencing gas, but, that shouldn't make you short of breath.

A pulmonary infection can be treated pretty easily, but, you can do serious damage to your lungs if you have one and don't get it treated. GO SEE YOUR DOCTOR!!!!!!!

I've tried very hard to build my success with this around the non-scale stuff. If I get caught up in what the number says on the scale, I freak out. I'm trying very hard to be healthy in all ways...mentally, physically and so forth. Having old clothes fit, having someone compliment how my face is thinning, being able to be more active, etc are the most important things to me.

Takin' it one day at a time....

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
