A big step in my PRE journey!!



Recommended Posts

Hey again!

Well…today was a HUGE 'step' for me. I was able to get scheduled for my offical consulation with Dr. Abkin in Florham Park, NJ. November 16th! By that time, I'll already have done my eval with my GP, my Nutritionist, and Psych! So on to meet up with Abkin, and then when 1/1/07 hits (and my new insurance), all I'll have to do is get final approval and a date.

Whoa…this getting 'real'….and I am getting excited!!

I should start a thread for the 'pre banders'….'What are you looking forward to post-band'??

Me…I want to go into a store and buy a pair of knee high boots - and not worry about the zipper not going all the way up. Can you believe that THIS is what I look forward to??? But of course, lower BP is a huge one!!!

Just thought I'd report!

Hey Sheri Lynn

GREAT NEWS! I know how excited you are!! I am having my surgery next Wednesday!!! Btw, I too would like a new pair of knee high boots, or at the very least be able to maintain blood flow past my knees while wearing them! I think your idea of a new thread is great, so here is my contribution...I have been so fortunate in my decision to have surgery. I've only been working on it since my birthday in August of this year...things have moved really quickly with my insurance approval and now I'm getting the jitters! The 2 week fast has been fairly easy, so far, and I just can't wait to be healthy again! Hopefully I can keep you posted on my progress...keep me posted on yours!

I wish you all the best!!

Hi MyKids...

The best part of this board is the incredible support I've received! Just knowing there IS someone else out there that is sporting those oh so tight boots...gives me a sigh of relief. And to know that this time next year - I'll be wearing them with NO WORRIES! ahhhhh! I wish you the best with your Band! Please keep me posted!

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
