Anyone with Sept 11 as their banding date?



Recommended Posts

I hate the date but it will be memoriaable that is for sure!! I am trying to cut my carbs to lose 10 or so pounds before this. I bought the new scales yesterday and am going to really try. My Dr said it would be helpful as 10 pounds at least shrinks the other organs that are in the way!!

I am getting excited/nervous about this. I love this website. so much great stuff. Some is scary, (PB sliming etc..) I will take good with bad and I think the end result of most of you is you do not regret the band!!!

I'm being banded on Sept. 11th by Dr. Ortiz, TJ. I haven't started a pre-op diet. I'm leaving on a cruise Saturday, so I will really have to buckle down when I get back to try to lose my 10 lbs.

I am so ready to start this journey.

I just watched the video and it definately shows why we need to lose at least ten pounds!!! My hsband and I have booked a cruise to the western CArribeen on April 22.

I'm going to Eastern Carribean...my first cruise. My goal is just to try not to gain at this point: ) I hope I don't eat everything on the ship knowing that it will be liquids for the next 7 days when I get back...lol.

RHCPgirl, congrats on the upcoming band surgery! I am getting banded with Dr. Ortiz as well on the 6th of Sep. I know he will be a great doctor, I have read so many positive things about him. I am nervous and excited about the surgery, but I know it will be worth it! I hope I can meet someone else going to TJ on the same day as me~ Good luck!

Hi Cindyn-

Although, I am not being banded until the 14th of September by Dr. Gonzalez in Tijuana, my thoughts went to September 11th and the fact that I would be flying around that date. I have only flown once as it is, so for me that is a scary deal. I had started September 11th of last year on Jenny Craig and it was a very easy date to remember as to when I started my diet, for the obvious reason. Nobody in the united states will ever forget what they were doing and where they were at when they heard the news of the attacks. Good luck with your surgery. I hope all goes well.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
