  • Well, my clothes still feel the same, as most of my casual clothes are very forgiving(leggings, tunics, dresses). BUT, I did notice today that my tummy no longer touches the steering wheel when I driv

    They let me come home about 1 this afternoon. The walking wasn't horrible and I plan on doing some walking around the neighborhood now that I'm home. So glad I did this. No regrets! Thanks for the sup

Well, I go for my cardiac testing on Thursday and then my last class is on April 6th.

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!

I work for a school and our last day of school is May 21st so I am hoping to have my surgery on May 27th. I am super excited as I feel like it will never get here.

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

Looking for buddy! In East Texas! Scheduled surgery date June 13th!

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!
