New Support Group @ Johns Creek



Recommended Posts

Warren, thanks for the details. My success so far has been slow, in my opinion. I have lost 40 lbs. so far. I have an appointment for a potential fill this Wednesday. I have 7cc's and feel no restriction. My surgery was performed in Dallas, but the office in Atl seems to be extremely conservative, so I always feel as tho I must be persistent when requesting a fill....I'm basically tired of having to "gear up" with attitude before my appointments! I'm really excited and looking forward to meeting the group.

Angilyn, 40# is nothing to complain about!! Just think that is weight you possibly would not have lost without the LapBand and slowly but surely it will keep coming off. Keep positive and look toward the future. I have had 3 fills thus far and am still not at my "sweet" spot but I think I am getting close. So far I have not met any resistance from my doctor. My next fill is scheduled for the Tuesday afternoon of our next meeting. I was trying to be smart and make only one trip over to that side of town so I combined my doctor's appointment with our Support Group meeting. Look forward to seeing you at the meeting. Take care and keep in touch.

Warren

Thank you for your kind words of support. Don't get me wrong, I'm pleased with my 40# loss and I look forward to working my band to be a big loser! When did you have your surgery? I'm curious to hear of your success also.

When is the next meeting? I'm very interested in joining you all. I'm not familiar with John's Creek so could you tell me how to get there also. Thanks!

Please do! I went there last year for a seminar for lapband....Waited months before I decided to have the surgery. Im in Sugar Hill, right down from James Burgess rd, or I could come up McG Ferry. Thanks so much and I look forward to meeting you all.....

      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? 🤷‍♀️
