Hi all!!

I am just getting started on my journey...I have debated bypass vs. banding for some time, and I think that I have finally decided to go with the band :party:

I live in beautiful British Columbia, am married to my hubby of nearly 7 years, and have two amazing sons! I swear, with how they keep me running around it is a wonder I am not 90 lbs, lol!

I am sure you will all see a lot of me! I have about a zillion questions and I am so glad that I found this board!!

Glad to 'meet' you all!!

Cheers!!

Jeanette

Hi Jeanette

Welcome! Have you made an appointment to see a surgeon yet? The thing that really appeals to me about banding is that it is easily reversible. I am being banded on 20 August and can't wait!

Lovely to meet you also!

      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.
