Why do I do it to myself?



Recommended Posts

Such a lively thread. I am so tired of regular LBT. I know it's necessary for people to do their research when thinking about the band.

How do you cruise the board? I usually go to new posts. But lately it's mostly people who are doing what they need to do, which is research the band. Where do people go who have the band and are just cruising along without problems go to get their daily dose of LBT?

I think one of the more amazing things about me having a band is that, after three years banded, I learn somethuing new almost every day......

....unlike some Band Practitioners. :heh:

So Wedall, do you just go to your subscribed posts, do you go to new posts, or how exactly do you find where you want to read LBT?

I know that I personally just have certain forums that I go to. I am usually in Rants and Raves, the Talk Lounge, food, General Discussion, and Support. I just check for interesting sounding threads.

You'll find interesting threads that pertain to you in all the forums. I spent the vast majority of my time in RnR and Talk Lounge, but I don't ignore the rest of the forums. I don't read every thread in them, but I do read the ones that sound interesting. You just have to find what works for you.

Yes, I am. There is a plastic surgeon that works out of the same hospital as my band surgeon and he's doing it (Dr. Bello). My only issue now is if it want a breast lift and implants at the same time as the TT. Daily I change my mind and I'm not sure what I want to do. I've been to three plastic surgeons and keep getting different opinions about what happens to implants 10 years from now. Two in Mexico and one in the US.

Is he in TJ or Mexicali? I have not yet heard of him. I talked with some ladies who had already done their work at this years Bash, and doing the whole thing seems to be pretty common. I think if you're doing a lower body lift, that would be more involved, and you may not want to include the breasts for that surgery.

Well, you've said (at least, I think it was you that said it) in the past that you only wanted to do either one or two surgeries (or at least, go under anesthesia) after banding. If there's more that you want to have done, and you still want to limit the number of times under anesthesia, I'd go ahead and do it. I mean, there's always going to be advances in medicine. If you put off surgeries just because you worry about what may happen in the future, you'd never have surgery. And hell, you'll be in pain anyway, might as well go whole hog.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
