Recommended Posts

My daughter and her family came over cause I ordered 6 yards of topsoil , duh... so they are helping us spread it around. I made potato salad, corn on the cob, and green salad, and chicken. I ate chick, green salad and 2 spoons of potato salad, everything got stuck. I don't know whats up with this band, im either too loose or to tight on any given day...

Hello everyone, I am new to this site and will be attending the group meeting next week. I have had the sleep study and it showed that I have mild sleep apnea. Has anyone had mild sleep apnea and if so does the doctor require a machine before surgery? Thanks

Just got back from the Hoff and sure enough, he took out .5 cc, because i have been having heart burn, he said he wanted me to heal, so now i just hope I can stay on track and get to onederland with a little less help from the band.

Val, how did u make out today? I met a girl there who has 8cc's in her band, and had her surgery last june 08, and has only lost 30 lbs. her doc was Forbes, and believe it or not, she was never assigned another doc. she has been followed by the NP. She said she can eat anything she wants and as much as she wants including a whole sub, unlimited buffet on cruise ship, doughnuts and more, I coudn't believe it, I told her she should see one of the doc's, cause maybe her band slipped.

Welcome all you newbies, it seems like yesteday when I attended the seminar. Dr Hoffman is the best, you will love him. The surgery is in my oppinion the easy part, second easiest is the first year, then it becomes work. But i wouldn't change any thing, because at 1 yr and 3 months later, although I am not at my goal, I can breath and walk at the same time lol...welcome aboard!!!:thumbup:

      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? 🤷‍♀️
