Hello! My name is Jessica and I have been reading posts on here for a few months now and this is my first post! I have found everyone’s stories to be very helpful and encouraging. I found out yesterday that I was approved for surgery and couldn’t be more excited! I don’t know when the surgery is going to be yet though-waiting on a call from my surgeons office. I look forward to chatting with anyone and being able to share my stories!

Congrats! I just found out this afternoon that I was on my way, too! I just starting posting today and I think it's going to be incredibly helpful. Just getting suggestions and hearing others speak about their experiences is very helpful to me. It gives me an idea as to what I can possibly expect. Good luck to you in everything!!!

Congrats to you too! It is very helpful hearing what can be expected. I don't know anyone who has the lap band surgery done so it's nice to have a place where you ask questions and get helpful info! Good luck to you also!

      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.
