Any Arizona bansters?



Recommended Posts

I am getting banded in September! I can't wait :) I just want to meet people local and have a support system in place! I haven't told many people I know about the surgery as I don't want their negative opinions. I am going through True Results in Scottsdale for the surgery.

I am in AZ! I am getting banded 08/27. I am using Dr. Simpson in Phoenix.

I am so excited to get this done. I start my pre-op diet in 8 days :-)

I'm a client of True Results Scottsdale also. I live in Fountain Hills. My surgery was November 2012. I am very pleased with TR. I would love to be part of a coffee group/support group.

How are you doing so far?

I am doing great. I did not expect the swelling which took about 10 days to go away. I've lost 14 lbs so far and feel great. Still a little sore when i get up and down but it doesn't keep me from doing anything I need to do. I am amazed that I don't feel hungry and when I do eat it's just to nourish my body so I have energy. Are you excited about your surgery yet?

I went through TR, got my surgery on June 27; I've lost about 20 lb. during my liquid diet (10 days, 7 pre-op and 2 post -op) and have not loose any more since then. I went to my first follow up last week and they told me that I can start exercising, so I am sure this will help. I am interested on joining your coffee group because I can not attend the one at True Results due to my work schedule. I am doing great as far as eating a lot less than what I used to eat.

You couldn't exercise for 2 months? Why so long?

That makes me sad. I love going to the gym and 2 months out is going to drive me crazy :angry:

Nifty,

They recommended to only walk for the first month or so until you go to your follow up visit.

Irishflower,

I am interested if we could find a day/time that works for most of us. I am off on Saturdays and Sundays, I live in Chandler.

Poop. The one thing I can't do...walk. I can swim, I like the yoga, I could probably bike...but standing upright more than a couple minutes pinches stuff in my back and my legs go numb. Fantastic.

IrishFlower, I live right by you!! 7th and Union Hills

      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.
