TENaciousTENS "roll call" as promised!



Recommended Posts

Hi all, it looks like I'm part of this huge group TENaciousTENS. Operation is scheduled for the end of this week coming. ;)

It could be delayed but I'm hoping not. I have a very positive attitude and a delay will not get me down but could take me out of this group. I will know more on Tuesday.

Let's all think good thoughts for Sonic777 that her surgery doesn't have to be delayed. How difficult to be ready, excited, nervous, and then possibly have to wait longer. We are hear for ya! Let us know.

Hi all. My date is just 4 days away and I am very nervous. I am more concerned with recovery, I am going back to work on Monday, 4 days post op. I am a kindergarten teacher, so I dont do heavy lifting or anything like that...it is just the pace of the day that is worrying me. I sure hope all goes well. I have told no one at work about the surgery. Only my hubby, mom and 2 friends know I am having the surgery!

Well, doing much better today as far as gas pain. I think I am trying to get too much in too soon. I feel like I need to burp but cannot, which is good because it would probably be a productive one.

The port was very sore fiorst two days and has settled down now. The doc fixed me up with a great anti-nausea drug so I have not had to contend with that.

I still feel anxiety and would love to hear about your success after surgery. I weighed, and know I am suppose to do so only once a week....but can't seem to wait! I am down about three pounds, lost 10 during pre-op.

keep your eye on the prize gang!!

Hi all, I was banded on Saturday 6th October. I have to admit I'm struggling - spent last night and the one before sitting up as every time I lie down I vomit. The ports have been a little uncomfortable but nothing too drastic. I feel like I have the worst reflux - pain in my chest like a lump that is only relieved when I vomit/reflux. Obviously aware that vomiting is a no, no so I'm trying to stay upright. Finding it difficult to keep even small sips of Water down but I know it's only day two post op. Anyone out there? Feeling very sorry for myself!

Hello all! :D

I'm scheduled for banding on the 16th I'm scared, excited, nervous, all at the same time. I'm a little nervous about taking care of my son. I'm a single mother and my son is 2. He still needs to be picked up to be put in his car seat and crib, etc. Hopefully I can figure out how to do it with out damaging myself when my surgery is complete!

I'll be praying for all the October bandsters to be.

Janet :nervous

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
