well...i hadn't been on here for a while. its nice to see you all again and doing wonderfully! i have to get back on my path. i did reach one major lifetime goal, i was able to get pregnant and have my special little guy. i revised my goal to 185 from 150<- i think that used to be it?? when i was weighing 208, i was at a size 16 i was okay with that but i knew that loosing 20-30more lbs was going to be "it" for me.

im so jealous of you all!!!! LOL! keep it up!!!! :smile:

Here's my update since my last entry back in June. I got back up to 185 by October. Then my dad was diagnosed with lung cancer. I decided to get another fill since i was able to down 2cups with no regrets. Had total of 7.5cc in my 10cc band. Things got hectic with my dad beginning his treatments that I didn't take time to notice my band was too tight. I had hard time getting fluids down. Had lots of heartburn, chest pain, and vomitting. My dad was put in hosp last week with pneumonia and neutropenia so that made things worse. I finally went back and had .25cc remv'd last Thursday and things are MUCH better. My dad's back home starting back on his treatments and my weight's already back down to 178!!!! Do not hesitate to get a little unfill if this happens to you!

Happy New Year to all the May 2008 bandsters! It's been forever since I've posted but I've been so busy. I really haven't lost any more weight. However, during the holidays I gained 10lbs but I have since then taken them off. That was a really scarely feeling. I'll be going in for a fill on Feb. 11. Keep up the great work!

Stuck at 70 lbs loss - but, consider that I have not been paying much attention to what I am eating - I have not gained an ounce since getting banded!

I've lost 111 pounds... and I'm not done, but I feel great. Its really really hard for me to look at pictures of myself from before. I am about 1,000 times more self concious now, too. Does anyone else feel that way?

Anyway, I have another hundred (or there about) to lose, but I'm up for it! Might I recommend to anyone that has an Iphone or Itouch the "Lose It!" app? Its a fab. way to count calories :biggrin:

Congrats Sara, I use that Lose it ap and I love it! Always with me and the database is pretty extensive. And I like how I can go to previous meals and just copy them as I tend to have some of the same things a lot.

I am down 115 pounds. Wow to say that out loud is eye opening. I have 10 to 15 stubborn pounds to go. I am at 171 and am 5'9". I am wearing a medium shirt and size 10 pants. I think maybe I will be in an 8 or at least some 8s when I finish with those last few pounds.

YOU ALL are doing GREAT

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
