Woo Hoo! Just sitting in recovery waiting to go home. I have my band and I feel great - nothing to stress about. I just got up and about and walked the halls and felt great.

My tummy is a bit sore - I have six incisions with little bandages on them. I took some before pics last night - I told my daughter one last time we have to get some pictures, I usually shy away from having my picture taken, but we did it. I will try to get them posted.

The surgery was pretty quick the only thing that was bothersome was how dry my mouth was and I had to wait to get my sips of Water. The pain killers are fogging my brain, so disregard the random babbling.

Good luck and don't stress to the rest of the August All-Stars! We are off on a great journey!:)

I'm gonna guess Blackberry? Or is it IPhone? Either way, congratulations on your new "accessory."

I became a citizen of Bandland today as well. Feels good to get it over with. It will be tomorrow before I go home but it's for the best since I have a 4 hour ride home. I am not looking forward to that one. Anyway, congrats to you and all the other 5thsters.

Thanks for all of the well wishes! I appreciate all of the support.

I actually had my husbands computer while I was sitting and waiting to go home. I had to stay longer in recovery, so I was bored and got to play on the computer. We have dialup at home :), so the wireless is always a treat!:)

Best wishes to all that were banded today!

Good luck and safe surgery to everyone that goes in tomorrow!

The August All Stars are on their way!

      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!!
