I wanted to give a quick intro...

I'm a part-time student and mom of three. I haven't been banded yet, but am hoping to be by the first week in March. I went for pre ops back in December and thought I'd be all set for the first week in January...but my thyroid was too out of wack...I'm hyper. So, my doctor adjusted my meds and we are waiting until my thyroid levels are better.

I've been overweight all my life...so a few more weeks aren't driving me crazy. I want a safe outcome. I am here for support and to hear everyone's story. :thumbup:

hello coneflower! I love your attitude and your patience is something I admire! Congrats on being so close to getting all your ducks in line for surgery! This forum is such a great place to get started! I will spare you my story here...bc I am rather long winded and ramble a lot :tt1:, but the link to my blog is in my signature. The lapband blogs out there are so full of information, laughter, truth...and really great people!

Good luck and holler if you have any questions!

Amy

Hi....I just found out as well that my surgery date for Feb 8th is cancelled because my sleep study showed tests of severe apnea and the pulmonologist wont clear surgery for at least a month till it is treated. So, Ill probably have surgery early March if all is good by then. Like you....I feel its better to have a safe surgery and recovery.

Glad you joined!!!! Good luck!!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
