Hi, you've the surgery done right? Are you willing to mentor someone? I am getting my surgery done on the fourth of June and I would love it if I could have someone help me with my weight loss process?

With you finding your someone who loves you regardless of your size is a wonderful thing. My bf is a skinny dude and I'm a big girl but he still loves me for me, he said I'm perfect at the size I am but yeah that's good to know that he thinks that but I want to be perfect at a smaller healthy size:

Hi Lauren, I live in Oceanside. My surgeon was dr. Garber. Its going well so far. I just have pain in my belly near the incision. It's just hard to go from siting to standing and laying to standing. I am feeling like I am getting back to normal which is good. Hopefully I'll be great in a couple days. How are u doing?

Hi I'm new to the forum but not to the band :) I'm from port Jeff station, 31, and was banded by Dr. Gabriel back in July 2010. I have recently just switched to Dr. Aurora Pryor though (who i love) for my band care. I've been very happy with my band so far, down 90lbs, 30lbs away from goal. I'm actually interested now in cosmetic surgery and wondering if anyone local here has had any and if so what has your experience been? Who was your doctor? Etc. I'm really excited to meet people local to me that can relate to what I'm going through with the band :))

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
