Hello everyone.

My name is Nicole. I'm 19 years old. I was banded on December 16th, 2008 at 8am. I was reading this forum pre-op, and your posts really gave me confidence. I hope that we can share our trials, temptations and our incredible happiness together. I'm looking forward to reading and replying to all of your comments.

Merry Christmas!

-Nicole.

Hello again.

I'm having terrible pain in my left shoulder. It's worse than the pain i had 4 days ago in my right shoulder. I know it's from the air, but seriously...OUCH! The only way it feels slightly better is if I hold it up in the air, or keep it extended. When will the pain stop?

If it is not better by 12/24 I would let the doctor know. I had a mild case of muscle strain on my left side. Your pain may just be manifesting itself in a different location. Icing for 20 min on and heat for 20 mins will ease the muscle. Just be careful not to over do it.

      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.
