So where are the Virginia bandsters, I know we've got some here. Signgirl is probably hanging out in the sun with a cool island drink in her hand, in Mexico, I'm so jealous.

Come on VA gals, what's up, how're you doing?

WTG Kara, welcome to LBT and the VA site.

I usually hang out in the NJ thread, just a great bunch of caring ppl there, sharing the same journey. Funny thing is very few ppl are from NJ, just a great thread.

Hi! How are all the Virginian bandsters? I was banded at the beginning of January and am doing well, still on mushies, no adjustment until Mid March, which worries me, but so far I have been doing pretty well and feeling good. I am starting an exercise program this evening. Just walking with my Hubby at the gym (well he will be running). I hope this will be the start of a great habit! I have been on the Exercise boards and everyone there is SO hardcore, it's very inspiring!

Congrats, I'm still awaiting for my surgery date. I hope it's soon! my inscurance does not require prior approval so I'm not sure why it's taking to long.

Hey everyone. Just thought I would say hello. I'm about 5 weeks post op now. So far, so good. Weight loss has slowed WAY down now and I'm really looking forward to my first fill on the 25th.

HarleyNana... I know you had some recent surgery. How are you feeling? Are you happy with your results? I hope you are well. :smile:

Hey, ColoradoChik... are you being banded by Dr. Pinnar (Jr. or Sr.)? I'm being banded on March 12th by Dr. Eric Pinnar. Very excited and nervous.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
