Well my surgery date is the 14th of may. When I did the band there was 6 months of crap to deal with with my Insurence. ,,, sooooo I was beyond ready. But since in paying for it out if my pocket I walked in today and said how far back is scheduling ? They said the 14th and I said sign me up. Now I just hope I don't back out of it. I'm really ready to get rid of this band ,,, and actually have a good shot at losing weight and keeping it off.

Dont be afraid and go for it! it is life changing, i did this surgery out of pocket also but mine was faster, i first knew about this surgery at the beginning of november and i went to the doctors office November 6th at 5:30 pm he asked me how soon did i want this surgery and i said as soon as possible (thinking that he wont say anytime before a month) he looked at me with a big smile on his face and said someone was scheduled for tomorrow at 10 am, but she had an emergency and she wont be able to make it, want to come instead? LMAO i looked at my husband scared as hell and he said go for it, you want this more than anything. I agreed so i had to be at the hospital 7 am next morning for tests then at 10 am i had my surgery!! you have a month to get prepared i had less than 12 hours :D You'll be fine. GOOD LUCK AND KEEP US UPDATED!

      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.
