Hi Sramundo. Welcome.. I just joined about an hour ago.. most of the people here are soo helpful and sweet.

I honestly thought I'd be fending off nay-sayers.. (I had to go out of country to approve my lapband becaus I'm not over the BMI or whatever for the US... long story)... But actually, people have been very honest, and sweet here.. They have alot to offer... You're gonna love it.

Hello. I was banded by Synchrony Health ( Dr. Mobley) on Aug. 17, 2007. So far, a great experience. Can't wait to get to know all of you and share our experiences.

So glad to have someone from Synchrony Cincy banded in August - are you having any problems? I hope to be banded early November not sure which doctor I will have. I have become so down on myself mainly due to weight issues and think I have tried every diet and gimick out there. Can't wait to hear your progression and comments along the way.

I have had no problems at all. Have you had a consultation yet? Have you been to a seminar? They are very helpful. I look forward to getting to know you better.

I'm so glad to hear you haven't had any problems. I attended seminar last week and have appointment with lap band doc next Tuesday the 16th. Insurance does not cover so I am taking some from savings and borrowing some - it's so hard to justify this amount of money at this age but I've already had a hip replacement so I have to do something.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
