I'm new to this forum.... hello !!!!

My surgery is scheduled tomorrow (Tuesday July 16th) and I am getting excited! I have read so many posts and learned so much that my stress level is actually very low. I just found out I'm scheduled at 9 am and we are driving to Houston tonight.

---please keep me in your prayers

FYI: "The BIG Book on Lap-Bands" was really helpful! It explained all aspects in great detail.

That is great! I'm in TX but in the Dallas area and my surgery is the 22nd! I bet everything will go wonderfully and I can't wait to hear how you are doing after surgery! Keep us updated! :D Also, I've been meaning to get The Big Book on Lap-Band keep hearing wonderful things about it! Once again, Best wishes!

Congratulations, Newbie! I had my surgery 4 days ago on the 12th. Like you, I am so anxious for my new life, new body, new accomplishments, new pride in myself. So far I have lost 7 lbs. I have been so educated and impressed with the bandsters that gather together here to support each other. I have learned so much already. I am particularly impressed with a few people that have lost large amounts of weight and continue to be here to support all the new people instead of moving ahead and not checking back in. Their mentoring is totally impressive and appreciated. Good luck tomorrow. I hope we can be friends and support each other as well!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
