Today is the day. I've got the iv in my hand. Now I wait. Upon checking in, the lady taking my paper work says that I look too small for this surgery. It messed with my head for a bit. I am sure she meant well, but it isn't what I needed to hear on top of already being scared. Regardless, I am here and ready to have my band removed and wake up sleeved.

Thinking of all who are in surgery, on their way to surgery or have had their surgery.

Will check back in when I'm able.

Hey Tai...

So glad you are all in a great spirit and saying a prayer for you today... I will also be going from band to sleeve. And the statement about "being too small for surgery"... I get that too. But, we know where we are headed without the surgery... and don't want to wait. Don't let it throw you.

What was your beginning weight prior to the band? I see you are still online and waiting for your doc to take you in... I'll be listening for you when you get out of recovery... God Bless You today...

Thank you so much!! I am just about ready to go. Prior to the band, I was 245. Heaviest I ever got was 289, and managed to lose 120 lbs on WW. But keeping it off was the difficulty.

Off to surgery! Bye.

Gosh Tai... we sound like the same story... my high was 234 and lost with WW to 183. slowly gained it all back... then after being diagnosed with diabetes II... I went for the band at 221 lbs... lost down to 183 again... Then started having all the usual band problems, had to have the Fluid removed and now sitting at 206. So ready for the sleeve...

Let's stay in touch... love to talk to those who this is the 2nd go round... and with all the blessings of being the last go round... God Bless... LOLOL... I was looking at your profile and if you changed heads, that could be me standing where you are... too funny... I am about 10 years older than you though...

You are on my mind today. Having just been there, I know the emotions :) trust that you are going to come out of this without any problems. Dr. A and Jessica and the rest of the staff will take such good care of you. May God be with you and you feel his peace, today and tomorrow. I think you will be amazed once you wake up today just how little pain there really is. Big hugs to you girl!!

To each of you have surgery today, may you have a speedy recovery and as little pain as possible!

      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!!
