Thank you all! You are so wonderful. My boys are gone for the evening and I was packing stuff so I can rest as much as possible tomorrow and I got all emotional and choked up. I signed on here and here you were with all this positive energy supporting me. Thank you so much.

I'm a single mom with 2 college age sons, so most of my life has been for them and now it's my turn and I'm not used to it. I am so glad my sister is going with me (she was banded last summer).

We will head out of Eugene at 3 am Monday to make our flight out of Portland. Labs and testing Monday and surgery on Tuesday. We will fly home Thursday afternoon.

I will let you know as soon as I can when I get back. Thank you again and God bless you!

Darcey, I have 2 sons (20 1/2 and 24 yr. old). I've been fortunate to be a full-time Mom. It is really strange to do something for you. But your sons are going to benefit from this just as much, if not more! You will feel like doing more active things with them. You are extending your life and making it a better life. You'll feel so much better, getting off of meds (and their side effects), less aches and pains in your joints, more energy, sleep better at night. That's not counting the mental part - feeling more confident, happier and more social, caring about your appearance, enjoying clothes shopping now, finding the variety of colors (other than the standard black) and styles. I love long bicycle rides (10-20 miles) and 4-5 hour mountain hikes now. That was never even a dream in the past! I can't wait to hear about your post-band journey!

It's amazing how so many of us are caretakers and we always put ourselves at the end of the line. Good luck on your new journey. I wish you and all the newbies the best, it's a piece of cake. (I can say that now, I started mushies today, ummmmm).

No I didn't have cake, lol.

Darcey,

I know your already on your way and won't get this till your back but I wanted to wish you Godspeed in your recovery and pray that the surgeons hands will be guided by the Almighty.

Like Vera I also lost a family member on Dec 21st 32yrs ago. She was not only my best friend but my grandmother too. I like Vera talk to her all the time and I have asked that every year that the 21 be a special day and so far she has granted me that. So this year I'm asking her to watch over you during your surgery. So you'll be fine. grandma was not one to mess with.

Well....it's 1:45 am here on the Pacific Coast. We leave for Portland in a little over an hour. I'm okay. I'm at peace with the good Lord about this.

Thank you all for your support and prayers. Talk to you in a few days!

Love, Darcey

Darcey, everything will be fine and you'll be back in your own comfortable bed before you know it. That is wonderful your sister is banded. You can be a great support system to each other. 2005, here you come!

      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!!
