Any one banded living on Whidbey Island



Recommended Posts

I was banded on 3-24 by Dr. Ortiz in TJ Mexico. I had my first fill on Saturday. I was just wondering if there is anyone else close by banded. Maybe we could get together for coffee, and talk about our journey with the band.

Hi, I live in Oak Harbor and was banded 10/19/07 and love my band! I would enjoy getting together with you but it will have to be in a few weeks. I have to have surgery on Monday 30 Jun and will be out of commission for a while. Let's keep in touch. I know there are several of us on Whidbey.

When you are able to get out and about that would be great. I just knew there where other people here on island that where banded. I would like to be able to talk to someone who could understand what I am going through. Man you have lost a lot of weight. Mine is coming off very slowly. Well all for now and hope you are feeling better soon. Thanks

I just moved to Coupeville, from Pittsburgh PA. I had the bad placed in 2006 and am having some slight difficulties. I however would love to get together with either of you also.

I would love to meet with you and welcome to Whidbey Island, one of the prettiest spots in Washington. Just let me know when you are available. I am pretty much free after 3:30 in the afternoons and on most Saturdays. Thanks

      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? 🤷‍♀️
