I am at the beginning of the process too, and I also am a mother, I have two little girls.

I have to loose at least 100+ to get to where I need to go..

Are you nervous? I am not yet but I am sure I will be when it gets closer...

Do you have a date set to have your surgery, I don't yet I have a few more things I have to get into the clinic..

Where are having it done?

Sorry for all the questions, I am new at this....

Hope to hear from you soon...

Hey Jennifer!

Glad to hear that you are on this journey as well!! My surgeon will be submitting to ins. next week....then I wait! I'm already so anxious! We are hoping for an early April date!! I am having surgery in Blue Earth..south of Mankato. I want to lose at least 75 pounds..85 would put me in the normal weight range, but I can't imagine that weight!!! Stay in touch...I would love to know how this is going for you!

Hey Ladies,

I am in the Twin Cities. Looking to loose 100+ Off to a good start so far.

Have you been banded yet? I just got my first fill last week. Some restriction, I still need to fight with myself to make better choices!

I am a Mom of one sweet sweet four yr old girl :()

Good Luck...We can DO this!

I am a 27 yr old mom of 4 from MN and going to a lap band seminar next thursday.

If I decide to do this how soon would a surgery be scheduled? Im wondering if anyone knows the process since I am very new.

I have bad health and my weight isnt helping my health so they suggested this.

I would love to keep in touch with everyone. I need someone to help me through this.

My email is blue2cry@hotmail.com

      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? 🤷‍♀️
