Any December '08 Bandsters?



Recommended Posts

I have my surgery on Dec. 5th with Dr. Kuri. I fly into San Diego on the 4th and then back out on the 7th. I am in Jupiter, FL which basically is the North end of Palm Beach County (West Palm Beach). Are you in Florida also? I noticed that molinomama is from Pensacola.

Hi, Yes I am from Cooper City. I fly in on Dec.8th surgery on Dec.9th.

I will see you there we can enjoy a glass of Water together..Ha Ha

Actually if your coming in on the 8th and I am out on the 7th we'll just miss each other! But hey we can find a South Florida Bandsters Group and meet up after surgery for a good glass of Water and some Jello on the side!

Hello everyone,

I think there are two threads for December. There is also one under Monthly Lap-Band support groups - 2008 bandsters - December 2008 Bandsters.

Just wanted to mention that since there are so many of us.

I am really excited and nervous all at the same time.

Nina

I hope to be a December or early January bandie! My bday is 12/31, so I figure it'll be my gift to myself, and as long as I get to eat at Thanksgiving, I can get through the Christmas holidays at home. At work? That's ANOTHER story. If I'm on liquids at that point it'll make it easier, for me it'll be all or nothing!

Hi, I just found out my date. December 9th. I'm excited and nervous !! They asked me if I'd like to wait until Dec. 30th and I gave it some thought at first. You know... All the Christmas goodies. Then I thought what am I thinking, DO NOT put this off for another meal.... So I'm set to go. :smile2:

My doctor usually will schedule about 2-3 weeks out, but they are planning to submit to my insurance for approval as soon as they get one more thing from my primary doctor. I'm really hoping that Late December or early January is a reasonable time...I will NOT be happy if I need to wait till summer (this has to get in and approved for this winter).

I thought my Ins. company was going to give me a problem, but I just had to follow up the first request with a history of diets, exercise etc etc. Then it was really fast, I was shocked. This whole thing has taken about 3 months.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
