Hi Amy. Where are you going for your band? I live in Bowie and my surgeon is Dr. Kim Steele at Johns Hopkins Bayview. I'm almost a year out now and loving band life!

Hi Everyone,

I've never posted an e-mail before and hope I'm doing this correctly. I'm going to be banded on Sept. 8, 08 by Dr. Averbach at St. Agnes, in Maryland. The closer the date the more nervous I get. I guess that's to be expected. I've been on the internet for months reading different blogs and posts, and have to say that a lot of them have not been very up-beat. I was getting kind of depressed after reading them, but than I saw Amy's introduction post and read your reply's and noticed that you are all doing so well with your weight loss and that makes me feel so much better about my surgery.

Thanks for listening to the new girl.

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
