Hello! I have posted a couple of times plb (prelapband) and now I AM ONE! Much easier than I anticipated, having gas trouble but walking helps. Outside of that minimal pain, some weakness Natch! Went w/friends and the husband and I were the bandees. Our spouses were terrific. We are both doing well. I LOOK fatter and feel it but know it is gas remaining, etc., but oh wonder of wonders...NOT HUNGRY! That's it for now, will post when I have something informative to say.

I think this is how most of you close your posts:

banded 4/9/07

BMI 34.4 (204#)

aiming for 140

70 YOA - Yeah that's right! If I can do it w/a pacemaker, back surgery and old bones you young darlings can! jb

Oh, Dr. Aceves - Mexicali

Hi Anniejo---so glad all went well for you!!! Dr. Aceves did my surgery as well!

There is an April band group, have you checked in with them? They are a great group!

Isn't the feeling of not being hungry a great thing? It won't last forever yet----but remember how it feels because that feeling WILL be back to last!!!

Welcome to Bandland!!!

Hi, How is your pain? Are you taking pain medicine? I'm not banded yet - I'm going through the process, I have my first doctors appointment next Wednesday. Did you have any test done or just consultations with doctors? Just curious

Thanks for any info

Did you have to go on an all liquid diet for more then a week? I was talking with a lady that already ws banded by the doctor I'm going to and she said hte hardest thing for her was a TWO WEEK liquid DIET. If I could do that for TWO WEEKS I wouldn't need the band! LOL

      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.
