Introduction



Recommended Posts

Where is everyone?, I guess there were not alot of people for the month of August. Well I just wanted to introduce myself; my name is Sharmaine and I join the loser team on 08/26/2010 .... so far this has been of the best decisions i have ever made for myself. Before the pre-op diet i was 275lbs, after the pre op diet the day of surgery i was 251, and now 3 weeks after surgery i am 235lbs....yay me.....

There is another forum under Post-op that is called "August Rush in Bandland". There are quite a few bandsters who had surgery in August, including me.

Hey August Bandsters, I haven't been on the site much lately but since it has been months figure I should check in. Doing good and over the half way mark for my goal weight. How is everyone else doing?

I don't have no support in my house its just me and hubby and he is no help. .Sometimes I feel he wants to keep me fat, he knows I love to cook and eat ..So im starting this jounery again and try my best not to let him get in my way its me and My God that's going to pull me through this. I have about 65 more lbs.to drop and I will.

Hello Maryjaja. I got this forwarded to my inbox today and feel like maybe I am supposed to respond. I haven't been on the forum in a very long time. I was banded on August 3, 2010. I lost nearly 75 lbs but went back to old habits and ways of coping with stress and realized today that I have gained 50 back. : (

Praying you do well with picking up on your journey!

      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.
