Surgery Date Set!!! April 21, 2009



Recommended Posts

Hi all! I am new here, and I have a surgery date set for next Tuesday morning in Phoenix with Dr. Terry Simpson. I am so very excited and know that I have a long road ahead of me, but I feel like I am truly ready for this journey!

I have the support of my husband and mother, and 3 friends (they are all I have told!). I also log in here every day and read posts from all of you.

I will meet with the nutritionist next Monday, and have already copied several recipes from several of you on this site.

Any suggestions or warnings (I tend to be an optimist in denial!) would be appreciated!

Thank you all so much for being here! Soon, I will figure out how to get my little ticker up there and add other info!

Chris

Welcome and congrats on your date.

In case you are interested, there's a forum for all the April bandster's HERE - it's a great place to share experiences with others of us being banded at around the same time. It's also a wonderful place for support.

Also, you've been added to the list of April bandsters HERE.

Congratulations! I hope you have your AC ready to run, or you're going to be terribly uncomfortable when you get home. Supposed to go over 100 today in Phoenix I think. Just a sign of how "hot" you'll be soon!

Hi everyone!!!

I am back home today. The surgery went great, and I am not really in any pain (except the gas pain). I find it helps to lay in a recliner and put my hands over my head...and walk alot as well.

Today I get to take my first walk outside for 10 minutes! Woo hoo!!!!

Thank you all for your support, I look forward to getting to know you on our Journey.

This is still surreal. It was the first day I woke up and the first thought on my mind was NOT how gross I feel. I woke up feeling GREAT!!!

May you all have a blessed day!

Chris

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
