I was so surprised how fast all of this is going! I had my first appt with my surgeon on Feb 21st and I was given a list with about 8 appts that I have to complete with my surgery taking place on April 3rd! My first appt is on March 1st...blood work, chest xrays, psych eval. I can't believe this! It took me so long to come to the decision that this is right for me that I can't believe it is going to be a reality in a month! Just wanted to share where I am at in my journey as each step I complete I get a tad bit more nervous! I visit this site every day for inspiration!! I know that this place will be a big part in my success!!!:clap2:

Congratulations!!! You are right, it will happen FAST!! But just think it means the weight will be dropping that much sooner!!! I was banded in April of last year, and I think April is a great month to be banded, it is Springtime, and you can begin a walking plan...and enjoy the rebirth of all the plant life!!!

There is a thread dedicated to April '07 bandsters...all of you with April dates for surgery. I belong to the April '06 group, and it has been one of the best things about my band---the special friendships I have formed! It is also nice to have someone to talk to that is in the same healing phase as you are...Go check out the thread. Us '06 bandsters are going to help you '07's in any way we can!!!

Jennifer,

I'm having my surgery today. I am pretty nervous hence the reason I am here reading instead of sleeping! I'm also very excited. I consider this the first day of the rest of my life. There is so much great information on the site. I already consider this part of my support network and I'm not even banded yet. Good luck to you. Keep us posted on your journey.

      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.
