Banded yesterday. Feeling rough today, but positive. Can't believe I actually did it. I was second guessing up to the last minute, but never told anyone. The preop nurse said something about just making it with my BMI weight and height. This is why I don't want to tell anyone. Most think I should "just try harder", I…

Happy to meet you! Be blessed.

AWESOME!! Our God is great. The same yesterday, today and tomorrow! Thanks for sharing. Please pray for my knee, it's really bothering me and I cannot excercise with it at all.

Is it Bertrece? I will be banded next week, and rockchick the week after, I think. We should all support each other. ALSO: My husband was banded a year ago, and has lost 110 lbs. He loves to help others through this. He is also just generally a kind and wise guy, so if you need to talk, or ask a question, just let me know,…

I don't know what is going on, but I would call the doctor.

Hello, My name is Loring. I love the Lord so much! My husband and I worship and serve at a small non-denom church near Tampa Florida. We are on the worship team, lead a home group, and do short-term missions around the world. God has been so faithful to us in our 12 years of marriage. Between us we have 7 grown kids. We…

Phil 4:13 Sister! You got this! Well, actually HE'S got this! I was married for almost nine years, separated for a couple of those. I never wanted to be divorced, but it wasn't a good marriage. So immature. I always wanted to be in ministry, but my home life was an obvious train wreck, so it didn't happen. I went through a…

And by the way - 21 lbs!!!! That's AWESOME!! :bigsmile:

Most of our class is having the band, but my last class talked more to the sleeve patient, probably because I know a lot more than her, and her husband (not real supportive - buys/eats lots of junk food) was there and needed to see what she is up against. I just don't mention it to anyone. I've told a couple close friends…

This was posted as a reply on another topic, but I wanted to introduce myself, and this really said how I feel. My surgery date is May 1. I'd love to walk this journey with you. I am 227, 5'6". Not as severe as others, so I convinced myself for a long time that I should be able to just work hard and lose the weight.…

Yeah, me too. My date is May 1. I'd love to walk this journey with you. I am 227, 5'6". Not as severe as others, so I convinced myself for a long time that I should be able to just work hard and lose the weight. Willpower:nada. I hate my lack of discipline, but I've come to terms with the band as a tool to force myself to…
