I also found out that since my BMI is 42, I will more than likely only have to have a 1 week preop diet. I will have to purchase the shakes. 1 weeks worth is $75.

We will probably be sleeved around the same time! Melissa told me last week that March surgeries are already booked, so I will be April. The cardiac clearance was not bad at all. I'm so excited for us!

Are any of you planning on attending Dr. Kim's meeting?

How are you my Fort Worth buddies? I hardly get on here, but belong to the December group on Facebook. I try to come on here a few times a month. I do get the daily digest emails, so if there is a post here - I at least am able to read them.

I have been working out - basically walking but about mid April started doing classes - Love the variety! I have done Zumba Tone, Zumba Step, Zumba Fitness, Kickboxing /Turbo Jam, Pilates and Yoga. Most of those were at the Watauga Rec Center and starting back up at 24hour yesterday and did the Zumba Step - loved it. I am trying either TurboKick or Bodypump tomorrow and Insanity on Sunday Morning, If anyone is interested in meeting up I go to the one on Western Center - Just let me know!

Hope everyone is doing fabulous!!!

Hello! I'm a Fort Worth girl. It's great to see so many of us here. :)

I was banded in 2006 by Dr. Smith. I've been on and off the "band wagon" so many times I can't count. Right now I am 40 pounds heavier than I was on the day of my surgery and I'm miserable. I've been totally unfilled for about a year because i just got so frustrated with my band, but I'm going back in tomorrow for a fill and am going to restart my journey. I've been doing a lot of research on this forum to try to remember how it was in the beginning - how to eat, what to eat, etc.

I appreciate having so many great folks to commiserate with, lean on, cheer for and get advice from.

Good luck and stay strong!

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

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
