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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
