Hello Stacy,

Dr. Bertha is amazing. Let me tell you through him you WILL get approved. He did my mom & step dads bypass and my cousins band like mine. I am in Pa and traveled to Jersey to have him do mine. My port did get infected and had to come out and a new one put in. But even through that he was amazing and straight forward. He is kind and tells it like it is. He was up front with me that I should have the bypass because of how much i had to lose but when I said I wanted the band he said ok and told me that it was my choice and would help me with my journey. You will be very happy and well taken care of. Keep me updated and good luck to you,

Rae

Rae-

Fix the date of your surgery in the box to the left,

YOU DID WELL

I have the lapband.

What impressed me the most is that you did not give up with the infected port. I honestly, being a NON quitter would have fainted and god knows what?

:):thumbup:Very Inspirational :biggrin::thumbup:

Can you please share with me more details of what you were doing as far as eating and excercising to help make this possible?

I have plateaued at 200 and went and get another fill today. Hopefully I can lose at least another 30 to 40 lbs by my birthday next month.

Thanks for any advise you may be able to provide.

Thanks again,

LaWanda

:o Great! What an inspiring story for those who are planning to undergo Lap-Band Surgery and yet still have doubts on going with it. Anyway, it's a matter of discipline and hard work after that and once you achieve the goal, it's worth it. congrats!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
