Who's Getting Banded in August???



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone....I hope you all had a great weekend. Congrats to all you that just got your dates and welcome to the August All-Stars! Be sure to stop by the August Forum and get on the master list (I think it's called August Roster) that was started so we can all keep track of who's being banded in August and when.

Vegas-thank's for posting that shopping list, I copied and pasted it in my documents. OK, sorry if this is a "blonde" question.....but, why would someone need toilet tongs????

Count me for August too! My date is August 12th and I go for my Pre-Op tests on July 28th. I guess after 10 mo. It's really going to happen. Does anyone know about the recovery time, or what to expect?

zukagirl,

congrats on getting your date, bit annoying about your late surgery time though.

ive only been given a time to arrive, which is 7.30am which they have drummed into me, does not suggest the surgery time as that is when everyone has to arrive. everyone with this company gets an overnight stay. so am taking lots of books with me, not sure if i will have the concentration to read them. have you got things planned for the morning to keep your mind occupied?

Hey Cutie! I'm thinking that anybody who might need the tongs would know what to do with them. LOL! But I'm guessing that it's for after surgery...you might not be able to access certain areas for cleansing, if you know what I mean, due to pain or stitches? Anybody?

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
