Any other September 2013 bandsters?
TheDuchess replied to Irishflower79's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
You know yourself better than anyone, maybe you didn't try hard enough, but you're going to have a tool from the 16th on out to help you. Today is a new day my friend! -

I'm assuming most have saved money on food since you're eating less - but how much would you say that you save? Have you spent more money elsewhere in it's place? I want to get on a more strict financial plan so I'm a bit curious :]

Sept 25th is my tentative date!!!!!! ^_^ -
This is wonderful! Makes me feel more excited!

I'm on military insurance, which requires the 6 months pre-op visits with my surgeon. For the first 4 months I felt so gung-ho, but terribly discouraged when I realized that every visit consisted of my blood pressure being taken, weigh in, and the surgeon talking to me for all of 5 minutes. My steam has run low, I don't feel excited or amped up like I did before, I feel like this is dragging out. Any suggestions on how to light that fire again? My tentative date for surgery is September 25th and I don't feel the least bit excited. :/

I'm fearless. I tell anyone/everyone. My case is somewhat different though. I've lost a good amount on my on prior to the band, and I feel confident about my decision enough to share it with the world be there the chance that they will know someone who is in a situation similar to mine and they could possibly encourage them to take a step in a life-saving/life-altering decision. It's none of my business if other people have gotten the surgery, or told people. I would like to say that it doesn't bother me that people lie/omit information on having the WLS, but it somewhat does, I don't like feeling as though someone thinks I'm stupid (a lot of people it easy to tell they've had it), and I definitely do not like to be lied to. I think we should be a proud people, but everyone handles their situations differently, and their story isn't about me.

I think slow is great! It seems more like a permanent life change instead of a temporary fix - keep it up and I think you look amazing! -

TheDuchess replied to lisaholland73's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Checking in at 274 - down 5 lbs! Which is crazy considering I was on bed rest for most of it with no zumba! On the 6th I hurt my back, luckily I'm better now and can get back on track! Off to join the July challenge! -
Wow wow wow!!! Looks fab!

How heartbreaking! I am sorry to hear, hopefully this isn't too much of a future issue after you get back to eating solids. Bless her heart!

Monday is the day and it is nearly here!
TheDuchess replied to mamasass's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Sounds very lucky not to have to go on the pre-op diet lol Hope all goes well -
Congrats! - how have you been feeling in general?
-
Good luck to you!!!! Everything happens for a reason, keep your head up :]

I'm 5'5 and my goal is 170, I love a full figure and plushiness, I just want to be at a more comfortable and functioning point. It really depends, to me, on what your ideas are and goals were outside of a number - size, being comfortable, physical abilities, dressing your body, etc.
-
Keep that attitude up!

Woot! Congrats! Happy healing :]
