:clap2: I just received my surgery date Nov. 9th. I am very anxious and nervous as well. I have battled my weight for over 25 years and am ready to have it behind me. I am looking forward to the journey this new beginning and rebirth will afford me as well. I am being banded 9 days after my birthday.....:D

I joined a healthclub 5 weeks ago and have been walking in the pool 5 2 6 times a week 4 an hour, feeling good about the exercise. I am going in tomorrow for a pulmonary study to see if I might have Asthma and have to have my sleep study this next Saturday to see if I have sleep Apnea.

Pre testing will be done on the 25th. So I have a full plate over the next few weeks. Still am nervous and anxious at the same time. I love reading and hearing from others who are walking this walk with me.

Hi, I'm on here b/c I'm a college student writing a research paper. And, I don't want to offend any one but I would like to have some information abot the lap-band that is not strickly generated by the medical field. I want to be able to have the whole picture and all the risks & benefits and not just the bias ones proved by the surgery centers & the manufacturers of the bands. If any one doesn't mind helping me please let me know:help:

      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? 🤷‍♀️
