Hey Ross07, Welcome :clap2: Where in St. Louis are you? :rose: Who is your Doc. :rose:

This board is great. I am in St. Louis also and currently waiting for insurance approval but we won't go there, too frustrating.

Happy Holidays!

I think we should have another poll with the top two winners from this one. That way we can re-vote with a narrowed down field. ;)

I think we should give the poll a few more days after the 26th because people are pretty busy with holiday preparations and celebrations. Maybe make it through the 30th? What do you think?

Help how does one get the ticker tape on their profile? Guess I am either having a senior moment or am just computer illiterate

I agree because there are so many choices in the first poll. Is everyone okay with that?

I agree that would be a good idea.

Ok by me, but we need to do it ASAP! There are people going for surgery this week & they want to have that name connection when they go. Let's direct the question to them? Just an idea.

Have no fear. I am making a poll that will close Dec 30 at night, the night before Chrisann's surgery. The two names with the most votes that will be in the poll will be January Jewels(8 votes) and New Year's Knockouts (15 votes)

Go to the January 08 Bandsters either at bottom or top of this or any page - looks like this in a blue box

Lap Band Talk Forum - The largest forum for Lap Band Surgery Discussion and Lap Band Surgery Support > Lap-band Support Groups > Monthly Lap-band Support Groups > 2008 Bandsters > January 08 Bandsters

Click on January 08 Bandsters and then scroll to top of page. Look on left side just above the titles of each thread and you will see a blue button titled "new thread' which you click on and it allows you to type a title, your message and then submit it (via another butter similar to one below). Good luck!!!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
