Mommy of 7

I had my band put placed yesterday 12-19-2013. I have no pain from the surgery itself, however I had lots of issues with the anesthia. I get to leave the hospital this morning.

Hello everyone, I get my band on December 19th! I was hoping some of you who recently got your bands could tell me what to expect as far as pain and recovery goes! I am so ready to start this new chapter in my life. I started this journey at 270 lbs 20 weeks ago, and I'm currently 209. Hoping to reach 150 lbs by my birthday on June 10th! If I can meet this goal, I will rock a bikini and make up for the first time in my life. I'm 31 and from PA. The proud mother of 7 beautiful children (5 biological). Please share your exeperiences with me, I would love some band buddies. The 1,000 calorie pre operative diet has been very easy for me. I consumed 740 calories today and burned 1,529 calories on my exercise bike.

My surgery date is 12-19-13, I am so ready to rock this band. I started my journey on 7-23 weighing 265 lbs, as of 11-4 at my last apt before surgery I weighed in at 221lbs that's 45lbs I have lost in 15 weeks. My goal is 150 by my birthday on 6-10-14, so I have 70 lbs to loose yet. If I reach my goal I'm going to rock a bakini for the first time in my life. I'm so ready to release the hot momma that has been hiding my entire life!

I am a 31 year old mother of 7, our children range in age from 13 to 15 weeks. I am very excited about the major changes that I have already made in my life, and the even bigger changes that are yet to happen. I am from The Harrisburg Pennsylvania area, and I'm having my surgery threw the Kunkle Surgical group. I was required to see a psychologist, dietician, and have a sleep study during the 3 month wait period for my insurance. I would love to make some friends in the group for support and motivation as I go threw this journey. During my waiting period, I started exercising regularly and currently do 10 miles a day between my treadmill, elipitical, and exercising. And I have found that the it works wraps really work as well and they feel really good to!

Well the dr just made my day: I started this journey on July 22nd weighing in at 264lbs and now on November 4th 2013 I am down to 222lbs! I'm well on my way to being one hot momma!

Thanks everyone, I go for my final appointment before my surgery tomorrow at 9:00 am. Not sure what to expect!
