Cancer Free and now Lapband



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

It has been 2 1/2 years since my treatment for Cancer and am Grateful to the Lord everday that I am alive and Cancer Free. I had Lymphoma and was treated at Yale New Haven Cancer Center in CT. I'm so thankful that my Oncologist has given me the green light to have the lapband procedure. Has anyone here on the LBT board know of anyone who had cancer and then got the lapband. I did meet someone at a Seminar who had breast cancer and then got the lapband and she has been successful.

Renee,

Praise God for your recovery and We'll pray for as great a success with your banding.

My 23 yr old daughter just had cancer surgery this past June and although its still recent she has been doing very well. She Recently had further problems as the Dr's thought she had Colon cancer. I know its hard to believe anyone would be happy to find out they have chrones but she was glad it wasn't cancer.

Take care and keep us posted

Corgi, I'm always really bad with this kind of subject. I never know the right words to say, but I want you to know that my heart is saying all the right stuff, I just can't seem to make the words follow. But it's all good, and I'm so happy for you. Good luck to you.

Hi Renee

Congratulations both ways.

I don't know anyone who has suffered cancer and has been banded. But I know cancer is awful and watched my sister battle it.

Best of luck to you.

Corgi, that is wonderful! Just think by the time you reach your 5 years cancer-free point how much healthier (and thinner) you'll be!

Greg,

Crohns and Ulcerated Colitis are in the same family, I know because I have UC. As long as your daughter takes her meds and gets regular check ups she will be fine.

Everyone,

There is so much LOVE here thanks for all your encouraging words.

I am truly sorry to hear about your son but grateful to hear about your other son. I lost my Aunt about 4 years ago and then a dear close friend to breast cancer last year. Until it happens you or your family, it is so hard to understand, it is so ugly. But their is a God who is bigger then Cancer. I wish you peace.

Renee

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
