I'm getting wls on Feb72012! I'm very nervous! Im doing a revision from Lap band to RNY. Hope I can lose some weight! I'm tired of not being able to walk the mall. parks, block etc. I want to get healthier for my boys. I need to also do this for myself I am having severe asthma and severe anxiety. I don't want to even go out anymore. I just wat to eat and I want to stop but due to my prednisone I drink I get very hungry. So new to this forum I need everyone support because my family isn't giving it to me. They are very negative of this decision I did. And I believe I'm still a little young to feel hopeless. So prayers will be appreciated ty Janette

Ty Debbie I hope your surgery goes well also. I know we are doing this for a better health. I know in fact that if I was lighter all my asthma, severe back pains. Depression will all go away. Also I believe my lack of self esteem will change. I now don't even want to look at myself in the mirror. I am always moody. Especially that everyone I try to talk about my weight saids I can do it on my own. I don't need this surgery everyone saids. But I know I do need it. I'm sure it's going to be very scary to get to the hospital on that day but I am gonna be there and I am going foward for the better. I know this is not going to be easy but I need to get my health problems fixed. I did lapband six month ago and what it did was make me gain more weight. Awful I know! I was going to do sleeve which was not the one surgeon thought was for me. Since b4 the lapband he wanted me to get RNY. But now it's a sure thing I will be on my way to this journey on Feb 7 2013 . I guess that's going to be my new birthday. Well I wish u and all of you that are going thru this surgery or has gone thru this surgery the best of luck. Current weight 261 5' 8 tall ! My goal will be 155

      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? 🤷‍♀️
