Just wondering how many Bandsters & Pre-Bandsters are in Arkansas?



Recommended Posts

Yes!! I go to the same clinic and love both of the doctors there (Dr. Ron Hekier, and Dr. Rachael Keilin). I am hoping that we can get a support group closer to Fort Smith, AR

We are trying to set up a conference call this week with a primary care physician in the Fort Smith, AR area who can do fills on our patients. We would also work on getting a support group set up there. We did recently start a support group in Nashville, AR which is a bit closer to you.

Banded June 25, 2008. Dr. Baker- absolutley wonderful but very strict. So far I have had 5 fills and I am still not at my perfect restriction. I have lost 56 pounds but have dropped 5 sizes. So the inches are really coming off. Still going strong, but ready for that perfect restriction!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
