Oh My only 9 days to go



Recommended Posts

Hello All,

I cant believe I have been in this forum as long as I have without my band. I joined this group back in Sept. I can say that I am more band educated thanks to each and everyone of you whether it's been good advice, bad situations, or just funny jokes and opinions. I have patiently been waiting for my band since last July, that's when my Quest started. I can't believe this time next week I will be only a couple of days away from bandland. I will be my Doc's first Adj Band, (with proctor, Dr. Jeffrey Allen). If my memory serves me correct I think Pat had this same proctor. I sure hope mine goes well. Yes, I am getting nervous and anxious. I just got my Magic Bullet in the mail the other day and played with it this weekend. I am going to do my grocery shopping this weekend. I've bought me a couple of books to keep me company while I recover at home. I am going to take 2 weeks off from work. I know a lot of you went back in a lot less time but I have the leave so why not use it. Please keep me in your prayers especially on March 30.

JUST Think soon that weight ticker will be tick tick ticking along down the line. I wish you sooo much luck & know things are going to go very well for you!!

Good for you Tanya! Yes, your memory is great, Jeffrey Allen was the proctor. I felt much safer with being the first adj LB for my doctor, knowing there extra hands there in case of problems. Enjoy that time off and it's good to see you have your "house in order", so to speak, lol. There is a website called, www.buythebullet.com, which is starting a forum for us bullet users. They also have a recipe section and of course you can order the Magic Bullet and accessories as well.

I'm very excited for you.

I do the same thing!!! 'Cept I think of some type of colon cleansing procedure...go figure. I already have something fairly similar at home but I'll check out the website anyway...great idea!

Tanya, you are ready to go!!! I'm so happy for you. You will do great and everything will go just fine. Good Luck to you!!! We will be praying and looking for your "I made it home fine" post. Until then, see you on the Boards...

Oh! do you have your heating pad yet? That is on my list of purchases, an extra large one and small extension cord for the hospital just in case it doesn't reach the plug...

Tanya~ Girl you will do great. Best advice I can give you is Adult Tylenol and heating pad and gasX. You will be sore but each day is getting better for me already. It will do the same for you. You will be banded before you know it and you will be on the road to recovery. Congratulations and best of luck on your recovery and weight lose!!! Get that band girl WHOOOOHHHOOO!!!!

Thanks for the support. Kathy, I just got the heating pad. I think I'm just about ready. Jamie, I'm gonna add GasX to my list. Was the tylenol liquid? ??

Tanya, good for you! I had to wait a long time too. But I think it just convinced me that I really wanted to do this and gave me time to learn as much as possible. Yes, liquid tylenol (adult strength). Also, get a filled RX for Phenegran suppositories. Hopefully you won't need them, but all bandsters should have some on hand -- just in case they get a "bug" of some sort w/real vomiting. We can't wait to hear about your journey!

      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.
