Maryland meet up

Hi - well I think people are away and not online, not really getting replies to post. Perhaps best to wait until early fall when folks are back online.

Hi ladies there are a few things playing into not setting a date. There are about 8 of us who have been banded about a year or more and we don't get on the boards like we use to. The curiosity of how to work my band has worn off so now we are living our lives and going through the ups and downs with the band.

If you really want to get something going you have to contact people personally through personal emails and phone calls. A central location with a time and date. Whoever comes be happy with that because if you get discouraged if only 1 person shows up then you just get disappointed. We have had meetings where we would have a full group and other meetings of 2 people but we still have fun.

I will try to contact some folks to see what day is good for them. I live in Oxon Hill.

Ok I am game, I agree two people are a party! Also I met another bandsters via this forum before my surgery and she and I have been getting together monthly. So Terisita if you have emails to contact people that would be great. Let's figure out a date that works and perhaps people would be more willing if they did not have to drive far we could find a place half way between Balt and the Southern MD. THANKS!

Is there a fill Dr. in Maryland who will work with patients who were banded by an out of town Dr.? I am looking at a Denver Surgeon.

Thanks

      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? 🤷‍♀️
