Ok fellow bandsters I just found out I got the sleeve instead of the band. I'm not sure how to process that yet......tbc

That was my biggest fear while getting mine done because 50 people around me were getting the sleeve. The staff kept telling me about the sleeve and I kept telling them I was getting the lapband. However, not sure i would have been upset to get the sleeve.

Ps is anyone hungry? I Ben having my small meals 2 to 3 oz and 60 grams of Protein and liquids but I am hungry more

I have been starving since my operation! I ate real food the day after. Along with liquid stuff, I ate some tuna today and a few crackers. I'm not a sweet guy, so all these hellos and Popsicles and Protein Shakes and sweet on top of sweet on top of sweet are to much for me!

My appetite is starting to return. It's because the swelling in or stomachs is starting to go down and we are healing. Just stick with band sized portions of whatever phase diet you are in and if necessary eat a bit more frequently.

I'm personally choosing to "white knuckle" it and if I'm hungry - well - isn't the first time and i will survive. I know I'm in the fastest time frame for loss that I will have and am trying to maximize it while getting all the nutrients my body needs to heal.

That's one way to do it.

I have a friend trying to have the surgery and can not afford the $28,000 . Can you give me an estimate of how much it is in Mexico? Don't mean to be nosy and understand if you do not want to.

All told, with airfare from Phoenix to San Diego and 2 nights in the hotel I'm at about $4500. That includes an extra $100 fee from the place for a guest and my guest airfare. If going alone, it's around $3800 not including airfare.

      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.
