Getting banded Nov. 20th!



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone!

My name is Marissa...I'm from Concord, NC. I have been waiting since June to find out if my insurance would pay or not - and I just got the good news the other day! Hooray!! My surgery is scheduled for November 20th. I am so excited, and nervous, and anxious, and and and. I'm sure all of you know exactly what I'm talking about. My surgery is actually the day before my birthday, and two days before Thanksgiving, so, I'm slightly worried about my emotions during that time. I have faith that I'll do just fine though. Does anyone have any holiday tips for a newly banded chic?

:o Marissa

You're going to do just fine! I'm sure of it.

My Dr. didn't put me on any specific diet, he just said to make sure I didn't gain ANY weight...and preferably lose some. I'm doing good with that.

      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.
