Hi Carl,

I haven't been on here for a few weeks and we are heading out of town for a few days.

But WELCOME I don't even know where Franklin is.

Congrats on your band. I can't go on enough about how great my life has been since I had the surgery. Don't get me wrong I have had challanges, but but through all of them I have grown.

I will try to check in while out of town.

Again, welcome.

Congratulations to you. I was just banded on July 11. Hope I do as well as you are doing. All is going good right now. Thanks for thinking about us new banders. Had mine done here in Raleigh N.C. by Dr. Enochs.

I don't know if anyone is interested, but I'd be happy to make a NC version of the table that I made on the August 2008 board. It could have everyone's username, band date, dr, hometown? Check out the one on the board and let me know. It's easy to update and has really helped us to connect!

I was banded last Friday and doing well Thanks to all for all the support and tips. I just love this site. Especially since I don't know anyone else personally who has a band. I am in Apex N.C. and Dr. Enochs was my surgeon.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
