Did you get banded yet.

my journey has been ok. It's a lot of accountability that you have to take on in order for your band to work. Making sure you get your Protein and work out. The worst things for me have been trying to stick to my diet when my family is being a bad influence and the fill I had was painful.

Yeah it's a life changing thing. I could imagine I have my most of my family coming over Saturday and they will be eating like crazy but have to stick to my diet hopefully it will get Easier for both of us.

Hi!

I'm pretty close by as well. My husband and I are both getting banded on Sep 19th in Oswego and the pre-op liquid diet starts 8/30. I'm off to costco tomorrow to pick up a bunch of cases of shakes and Water. I'm so nervous!

MookNana--where are you having your surgery done in Oswego? I'm on the Aurora/Oswego border, and the closest Dr I could find is at Central DuPage.

Who is your dr? I'm seeing Dr Klem at CDH. I did see he originally had an address in Oswego, but when I called the place they said they were no longer seeing patients there and I'd have to go to the city. Dr Klem was listed as one of the Drs, but it looks like he changed groups. How long did the process take you? I will be done with my testing on Tues (I hope) and am not sure how long the process takes after that is all completed.

My doctor is dr Woodword. I afterward all the testing it takes a couple days for the insurance to approve it. And after that the give you sugary date. I waited a year after I was approve. I wanted to try one last time by myself before I go through it. CDH is a very nice hospital there. Bariatric team there is very nice.

I'm with Dr. Woodard at CDH, but the surgery will be done outpatient at the Oswego surgicenter. I think he called it Kendall Pointe? Off of 30, if I recall correctly? Which will be nice since it will only be about 10 minutes for us to get there.

So far I've been pretty happy with Dr. Woodard--he actually took my gallbladder out laproscopically when I was 19--I had no recollection of him, but he remembered me! He and his office staff have been very pleasant and responsive. I wasn't super crazy about the dietician--she was nice enough but just gave me a printed out packet and basically read it to me. I can think of more entertaining ways to spend $50. :lol: But if that's the worst thing that happens I'm doing OK!

I did the costco run today--by the time I was done stacking the pushcart with 7 cases of Protein shakes, 2 cases of Water, a small case of juice boxes, a case of broth, and some other supplies to tide us over till after the surgery, I could barely steer the dang thing! The checkout lady had a good chuckle at my stash.

Oswego is less than 10 mins from me, that would be ideal, I'm jealous. I thought my dietician said they give me what I need for the pre-op diet--is that what you bought for, or is this for your post-op? I have to go to a support meeting on Mon night as one of my requirements, so I guess I will find out more then.

      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!!
