Well I had my surgery Friday morning and am now home. Sore but the pain is bearable. Now the journey truly begins! Thanks to everyone who had been keeping me in their thoughts and prayers.

I am new to this site. I am awaiting insurance approval for my lapband surgery. I needed 2 years of previous medical history in order for approval. I know that it will be approved but the waiting is so unbearable. I have read all of your inspirational stories. I just want to be able to live life without high blood pressure and have energy to do the "normal things" in life. Thanks for posting your stories they help more than you know. I am proud of all of you and I don't even know you! Lol

Congrats new bandsters, I will be banded on wednesday. Its good to hear

your stories of a successful surgery and somewhat easy recovery. I'm

terrified will not have such a smooth recovery. I feel fine now I'm afraid

I will have caused myself to now live a life of problems. I know there are

more success stories than not but I seem to focus on the negative ones

thinking that will be my luck. Trying to be more positive. It helps to hear

your stories of success.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
