That's good. I've heard many say they are tired for a couple weeks or so. I m excited and can't wait for my procedure. I need to make myself stop reading the negativity on other sites about the band. It's scary. But I can say I've meet many that has had success than failure.

When do you get your band

I am going when school is out. I am am teacher so im getting in done around June 10th so I can have the whole summer to rest and get my self situated. Only thing I have left to do is my EDG and thats it. I talk to my advocate today and she said my insurance usually takes about 2 to 3 weeks for approval.

It really is a huge blessing. Many success stories. I am going to have to stop reading the negitivity. I was talking to my advocate and she was not putting anyone down but she said do what the doctor tell you to do and follow your diet you will do fine. She has been banded for about 8 years and still looks good. Are you in Houston as well?

Ok I know where you at. I am down the freeway from you on !-10. Well I teach in that area. I am off the beltway and Tidwell area. Do you use the ticker? Do you know how to edit? I tried to but it just takes me back to creat a new one and not posting previous weight.

      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!!
