Good morning again everyone! My prayers are with the next go-round of bandsters.

Wow, the days are just dwindling down. :w00t: Im so stoked I can't wait!

Well, I am not staying the night, however the price my surgeon charges includes a stay at the hotel down the road the night before my surgery and an overnight stay following my surgery. There will also be a nurse checking in on me. :lol:

I really like that part of the deal. I will be six hours from home so this really helps. I have family in DFW area though that I will stay with for the rest of the week before me and my hubby come back.

IM SO EXCITED :thumbup:

Hi all! I just wanted to hop on here really quick and say that everthing went good in surgery and I am doing really good. The only thing that has been a little bit of a challenge is remebering I am banded, the reason I say this is because I have been having head hunger, and will think out of habbit that I want something from Burger King or something. So yeah, that has been the hardest thing for me.

The gas was a little bad last night, but I would just get off my butt and walk. It wouldn't make it go away, but it would make it more manageable. Also, I have had some gas pain in my right shoulder today. I know that is weird becuase people often say they feel it in their left, maybe I am just a weirdo! :thumbup:

Well, that is about it for now. I wanted to let everyone know that got banded today that I was thinking about them and wish for a speedy recovery. :w00t:

TTYL, sorry if I didn't spell things right, but I am a little bit druged up and don't really care about that so much. :lol:

      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...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
