A warning to those awaiting surgery

It is a loooooooong journey that is for sure. Well I haven't kept it all off since I have been to that first weight in. I have to work on this 10 lbs I have on in that year or I will be up poop creek without a paddle. I am having the by-pass. I figured I wouldn't do as well with the lap band. When I signed the consent form I think I still had about 8 lbs to lose. and I think over time I have crept back up a bit. So starting this weekend have to get my butt in gear and try to get that off in a hurry and maybe a few more just in case and then keep those off until they call me. Hopefully it will be soon! Don't get to disappointed, i know that is easier said then done, but at least they said only until July maybe to try again That will fly by! Take care

Krista, im so happy that you were kind enough to tell the othes about this really sucky experiance! OH MY GOD~ i would be so PISSED. I never had to go threw all these loops that you guyes do. I had the operation way before the doctor even had all these plans n stuff.i think i was patient 7.. anyways. I dont understand why its so dangerous if you gain 5 or 10 pounds, your gonna loose it anyways... geerrrr this anoys the hell out of me.. i dont understand it. im back at the gym every week day and i bike for an hour. i go about 26 km every day, its what i do until my personal trainner comes back from her vaccation and than i add 3 days of weight trainning and get off the bike and use the stepper for 20 minutes. HOLY COW its freakin hard work. but you burn off any calories you would eat so its wicked and your heart is super super strong. i can walk up any stairs and do anything i want to with no effort. if i dont go to the gym, i take my friend's baby for a walk for a half hour each direction... or go to the ymca and play in the pool with my young kids... i was a 6 x and now i am size large its taken me 3 years since my operation... this summer we are planting our own vegetable garden, im gonna pig out of vegetables... HAHAHA keep your stick on the ice, you can do it... (ill kick Dr B ass when i go in for my year appt on the 24th just for you) lol Nadine Lockhart Amherst [email protected]
