Hi Ladies:

I can hardly believe it, but I finally have a surgery date. OCT 13TH.:cool2:

I had gotten so depressed because I really thought the surgeon had just abandoned me, because of my untimely cancellation of my original surgery date. He had just told me to lose 20 lbs and had given me no direction. Yesterday his nurse called to find out about my blood pressure and to check on my weight loss.:cursing:

Well, to date I have lost only 10 lbs but the doctor said he sees my committment and he has gone ahead and scheduled the surgery. :w00t::biggrin:

My nutritional counseling is Sep 16, then it clear sailing ahead for me. She offered me an earlier date but OCT will work out just fine for me.

There is truly light at the end of the tunnel.

Thanks for all the encouragement. The time should go by pretty fast.:biggrin:

I still have some more weight to lose, but now that I have a date atleast I have something to work toward.

My doctor did not tell me to do any kind of fast right before the surgery, but I will try to do a fast 1 week prior. I am going on a cruise the last week of Sep, so I hope i will at least eat from the "Spa menu" so I don't slide back too much.

Congratualatins Travel Lady,

I am new to this forum. I can really relate to feeling forgotten and getting depressed. It took my insurance comapny 6 weeks before they approved me. Finally the surgeons's office called and I too have a surgery date. I was about to give up and start planning a trip to Mexico. But I am scheduled for Sept 23,08. Good Luck. I'll be rooting for you.

Nan,

I am so sorry you have had just a bad experience. Unfortunately, the band has some risks but you were able to get help quickly and avoid further injury. I wish you the very best in your recovery.

Goodluck on your surgery. I can hardly wait. It's has been a long time getting to this point for me, I really need the help the band an give me.

Eventhough, I'm from Cali, I worked 5 years at Hartfield Airport and really enjoyed ATL. I had actually considered coming back to Atl for my banding, but eveything worked out here in Pasadena. Once my husband retires, we are considering moving to ATL.

I wish you all the luck.

      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!!
