Hi Tanya, I'm from Oneonta. I go in for my first info meeting in Cooperstown on Tuesday. I'm nervous, anxious, excited. I would live to hear about your experience!

I've found the lapband to be a fabulous tool that's led me on a successful path. That being said, there's three parts to success...

1. The band as a tool

2. Reframing my mindset

3. Exercise....yes...it's a must!

I won't be able to make the next meeting as I'm committed to teaching a Zumba class that night, but hopefully next month I'll be there.

      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.
