Any other September 2013 bandsters?



Recommended Posts

How are we doing folks? Any concerns/doubts/victories to share? You think for a group in the verge of banding we would be more talkative!

Are any of you going to write letters to children or to yourself before surgery? I am thinking of writing one to my little girl, a just in case one telling her how much i love her and why I am pursuing this. And maybe one to myself to read when things get hard.

I have been thinking of the what ifs.. and I know its just my anxiety but I feel I wanna write something, Maybe just stick it in my mail box.. just in case... and I like the idea of one, when it gets hard.

Dmh102, what is the hold up on getting you a date?

Fee139, good luck and please check in as soon as you can so we know you made it through safely. I'm sure you'll be up and around in no time!

My friend is a coach and she said that one of her girls had laproscopic surgery and was playing again in 2 weeks. I hope I am able to recover quickly too. (But I know to take it slow!)

I do not know what is holding up the date. I think it is a matter of someone in the drs office calling me to set a date. I called yesterday and will call tomorrow and leave another message...

      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!!

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

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
