Recommended Posts

Hi Huggie Bear!

I was reading my posts and saw that you were going to add someone to the "1st Fill" list. I am having my first fill on August 29th. I had my surgery on June 17th, and didn't want to wait quite so long but it was the only time slot I could get. If there is a list somewhere, would you please add me to it? Thanks, Kerry

Hi Kerry,

See the thread titled Jazzy June First Fill Line up and folks are posting about their fills like we did surgeries. That seems like a long time to wait. Good luck!

Hi all I am from Beautiful British Columbia Canada. It is an amazing part of Canada. I live in a small town and we have a ton of outdoor fun. My husband of 10 years is in the logging business, we have 2 daughters Mackenzie (11) and Saige (3 almost 4) and a dog of 15 years Whisky. We have a ski hill and I manage the food and beverage department. I have 4 months a year off which is summer. Our winters are long 6 months and can be cold. I was banded June 17 with my friend by Dr. Rummbraut in Mexico and he was amazing!!! I feel good but am getting hungry now.

I am excited for this journey and can't wait till the first fill!!!!

Nice to meet you all and here your introduction to the June o8 bandsters

Hi There1

I to was banded in Mexico by Dr. Kuri in Tijuana on June 17th. I believe most all of the other patients that had surgery along with me were from Canada. I myself, am from a small town in Oregon, USA. I to can relate to the hunger starting to creep up, and it is VERY scary! I will be having my first fill on August 29th which seems like a year away! It was the only schedule the Dr. could fit me in. I have to travel 100 miles to Portland, OR for my fill.

All of the folks I met from BC were the kindest ever and I still keep in contact with one family who were fellow bandster's on that glorious day. I must say I have had an amazing recovery thus far and wouldn't change a thing about the whole experience.

Good Luck to you! Kerry

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      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? 🤷‍♀️
