Recommended Posts

Found out yesterday that I was approved for the band!!!!! Although i will not be banded till June 27th, I am just so happy and relieved to have this part behind me. I was worried because it had been several weeks since I was submitted, and had not heard anything. Turns out the wrong department had the information at the insurance co. When the right department got the information I was approved in 15min!!!!!

Wish me luck - I'm sure I will get more nervous as the date approaches</p>

Congratulations! You are on your way to your new life! And it really will be a new life for you. It certainly has been for me--everything in my life is better now. My unhealthy relationship with food is gone, and has been replaced by a whole new, healthy one! For example, last night we went to this really cool place that has go-karts, laser tag, mini golf, video games, etc. They have this amazing all you can eat buffet with pizza, Pasta, baked potatoes, Soup, salad, and Desserts. The old me would have had some of evrything--the new me had a small salad with fat-free dressing. I know I still could have had a little bit of everything if I wanted to, but the thing is, I really didn't want to! Lots of people who are banded still eat the same foods they did before, just in smaller amounts, but I would rather fill that small new pouch I have with good, healthy food. And, I quess that's working for me, cuz I have lost 70 pounds so far! This has been the best thing I have ever done, and I'm sure you will think so too. Good luck with your journey!

      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.
