Calling all May 2005 Bandsters



Recommended Posts

:clap2: :clap2: Just about time for my 1 year anniversary!! :clap2: :clap2:

Just thought I would check in and see how others that were banded about that time are doing…

Date Banded..??

How is the weight loss..??

Are you at Goal..?? Close..??

How has your life change in this past year..??

What are your plans for the coming year..??

************************************************************************

I’ve not been very active on here…mostly just lurking…

I've been wanting to meet those that were banded about the same time as me…

I was banded May 31, 2005, In Brunswick GA… (I actually live near Savannah…) Age 52 starting weight 311.6 / 5’10”

I have lost 76.5lbs and 85.5”

I have a 4cc band and have 2.5cc in it… (6 fills)

I am about half way to goal…

I am able to do so much more than I could 1 year ago…I am so grateful for this opportunity…It has completely changed my life…

I have had the chance to “mentor” some of the pre-op and newly post-ops…and it has become something that I feel totally blessed to do…To be able to encourage others in their attempt at a new life…

I started out barely able to move and get around…Extreme Osteoarthritis…especially in back, hips, knees and ankles…so limited on how much exercise that I could do…

The weight loss started VERY well, but has slowed down some…but I am VERY happy with the results…and would do this again in a heartbeat…the ONLY regret I have is that I didn’t know about the band when I was younger…

My Plans…to continue to lose the weight…To be an inspiration for those around me…

The surgeon and Dietician have asked me to work with some of the “newbie’s” being able to be someone who has actually gone thru what they are looking into…there are lots of local Gastric Bypass people for them to talk to but not many Lapbanders…I have always had a hard time talking with a group of people…but when it comes to my band…now that is another story…

Post your story…I would love to make some New Friends…:)

Blessings, Debbi

      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.
