We'll be banded on the same day.... I wish June 13th would just be here already!!!! I eat, sleep, and breathe lap-band ever since I decided to go through with the surgery and especially when I rounded up the money to pay for it.

Friday June 13th is my lucky day also :)

I have my pre-op on Thursday, hope all goes well with that so we can proceed. I am very excited, I have been DVRing big medicine lately. Before I was convinced I'd never get it approved and the diet classes I had to go to were really depressing so I didn't want to get my hopes up by watching it.

I am starting my third week of Optifast and doing okay- only cheated once by eating a strawberry. Imagine that- eating a strawberry is cheating!!! I am getting more and more nervous- just read a book that said that the mortality rate for bariatric surgery is 1 in 150! That sounds high to me. And, getting banded on Friday the 13th doesn't help my confidence much either!

I am still trying to figure out how to get the ticker thing.

This is my first post here - I just scheduled surgery for 6/24 - yay!

About mortality rates - my understanding is that for bypass surgery the rate is 1 in 200, but for the lap band it's only 1 in 2000. So rest a bit easier!

To create a ticker, go to a website that has them, such as tickerfactory.com. Enter your information there and highlight/copy the code that it provides once you've selected all options. Open another window for LBT and click on User CP then Edit Signature. Paste the code from tickerfactory.com into the text box.

      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.
