Hello All Bandsters ,

Stacy73 I am also getting banded on sept. 5th. I cant wait!!! I am on day 5 of the liquid diet and boy is it a struggle. I cheated a little bit last night but i felt so guilty that i am back on track for the next 9 days. How are you feeling? Do you have to do the pre-op diet too?

Congrats! I am excited as well, I know it will be a good thing! I am also worried as well about having to have "reconstructive surgery" after I lose all the weight, :nervous It started stressing me so I just have to realize that if I have to do something later than I'll have to, but anything is better than being overweight! At least you can hide stretched out skin! :) Good luck!~

Hi All,

I’ve been checking in on you regularly, but haven’t posted for fear of jinxing myself. I’ve been working on getting a September date. I’m almost through all of the hoops. My doctor’s office is also working to make it happen by the end of September. Hopefully this time next month, I’ll be banded.

I’m looking forward to getting to know you.

I am 9 days into the liquid diet and my surgery is Tuesday the 4th. I am doing welll, after the first 3 days it gets easier. You can only eat so many no sugar added popsicles. I had my post op today with the doctor, fast no problems. Then went to register at the hospital & that tooks a couple hours, drawing blood, had an EKG & a chest x-ray. I have to be there 7:30 tuesday morning & will be banded at 9:30 AM.

I will let you know how things went on wednesday. Anyone out there 3 or 4 days out of being banded, let me know what to expect.

Thanks

P:clap2:

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
