I would just like to say hello to everyone. I have been viewing the site for awhile and finally registered. I am still adjusting to my new lifestyle change. I was banded on Sept. 10, 2008. I am almost on week 3. My post op appointment is on Oct 8, 2008 and I am hoping i will get a fill then. I did not get one the day of my surgery. I must say that this is a whole new experience for me. I am hoping this will be the journey of a lifetime.:thumbdown: I am welcome to any information that anyone would like to give me.

Hi I am from KY also. I was banded Aug 21 and i am still learning. It takes some getting used to . I went back for my 6 wks check up and my Dr. did not do a fill because i had lost 14lbs since my 2wk check up . I go back Oct 15 i don't know if he will do a fill then are not. So if you lose quite befor your 6 wk check up don't be surprized if he don't do a fill . Hang in there . But it's a good feeling to see the results. :thumbdown: lynnlynn

Hey girls! I'm from Mt. Washington, KY. My surgery will be 10-30. I'm being banded in Mexico and my local dr here will be Jeffrey Allen. I hate to hear that he didn't give you a fill but I think it's great that you lost so much. Is it willpower or the band???

Hi ladies!! Lynn, I was curious if you went through Norton? I believe Dr. Allen is with that group. I am going with them, but my surgeon is Dr. Kehdy. I go on Tuesday, the 7th for my Psych. Eval. and Nutrition Appts. I was curious if you can tell me what your Psych. Eval. consisted of. I have heard they can be anywhere from very minimal to extremely in depth and was just curious what I was in for. Also, how was your overall experience if you did go through Norton's?

I see you are in Radcliff. I live in Brandenburg by otter creek park. I will be glad to help you anyway i can. Yes i did go though nortons. About your evel. It depends on if you have any medical history . You are young so i will guess all you may ahve to do is the check exray and labs befor surgery. But don't hold me to that. Me on the other had had to go amost to God and back LOL. But i have had open heart surgery and i am a lot older than you are 51 . So just depends on how healthy you are befor the surgery. Lynn

      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? 🤷‍♀️
