Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I am all set to be banded on the 26th (the Monday after Turkey Day)! I am so excited! I think I have everything I am going to need after surgery. I went through the list posted on this site and got pretty much everything on there (except the toilet tongs, hopefully I don't regret that!)

I will keep ya'll posted!

thanks for that little informational tidbit. I am hoping I won't need those. And, tish, good luck on your future doctor visits. I'm sure they will have you rescheduled in no time!

candy8360, THANKS! I thought waiting for the surgery date was tough, but this is killer!

Anyway, I forgot to include this link in the last post. It is a thread that someone started in order to put together a list of items that people will need pre and post-op...including the tongs, te he he. There is a printable version somewhere as well, but I forgot where I saw it!

I found no need for the tongs. I was sore but not that sore. I'm glad that I have a bidet next to my toilet, though, so that I could use it to push up on in order to stand up! :)

Hey all! I'm going on Monday too! I was originally scheduled for the 5th but had to be rescheduled due to a severe cold.

I have most things from the list but I'm doing my final packing on Sunday.

I'm soooo ready to have this done and over with. :)

Good luck to everyone!

      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!!

      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
