Great job Patty! Thanks for posting it. I was looking for it this morning. You did a great job representing bandsters!

YEA PATTI

You represented us all well. Although some of us don't have to do the baby bites and chew until pulverized, you did a great job of communicating that this is not easy street. I was also touched how you were able to convey that "fat people are not jolly". Sure we have good days and laugh, but being trapped in an obese body is hell. Keep up the good work

Great video, Patty. Didn't you have a news report somewhere else, too? I seem to remember your story. You did a great job representing us.

Great job Patty. You expressed yourself really well and let people know the truth, it's definitely not the easy way out!

Hi Patty:

COngratulations to you!! On your huge success!! I watched the clip it is an amazing testimonial to what this surgery can bring back to us who have fought with obesity demon.

I am sorry for the loss of your friend. I too lost a friend the week of my surgery who had the GB from C-Diff. I am so glad I chose the band it has changed my life already and I still have 114 pounds to go to reach my Goal!

But I know I can do this, I know that the energy that I have today I did not have 9 weeks ago and that will only continue to improve.

You look amazing and you sound like you look!! It is not an easy way out in no way! I was a part of a post here last week where someone was angry that I had posted that I only eat 3 ounce meals and no snacking and that I log everything I eat and even my exercise. She made the comment she did not get the band to have to watch everything she ate like being on a diet.

I am glad you brought out in your segment that this is still a process that requires you to monitor your food intake as well as what kinds of things you are placing into your pouch!!

WOO HOO to the BANDERS who have met their GOAL!! And to those on the WAY!!

Steph cn--CNN.com had an article about me a couple of months ago, that is where the producer found me. He read the piece about me and decided he wanted me for one of his weekly segments.

Steve in Kansas--He just got the electra glide in December....Its tough in Boston this time of year, roads are pretty icy, but he has managed to put 1000 mile on it. (we did take it out last night, a little crazy, lots of black ice, and I was wearing a mini skirt...:)

      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? 🤷‍♀️
