I am just over 3 weeks out and bruiding is finally fading

I was banded over 'failed' bypass 3 weeks ago and have lost 15 pounds but my appetite has returned and am battling a bit now that I can eat all foods.I diarise everything I eat and stay under 1200 calories.. I see my surgeon on the 31st and am very keen on hearing when I can have my first fill. All of the Jan Bandsters are doing so well..and full recovery is just around the corner for everyone that have had their bands I only get a little ache and pain after bending or doing a bit too much..looking forward to hearing when I can start exercising .. Finally good luck to everyone having their surgeries in the coming week !

Hi I am new to the site and have had revision WLS (band over bypass) on the 9th January 2014. This has been my most happiest post operative experience so far (have had many surgeries) and I must say the peppermint tea that I have been drinking(recommended by a friend) has made all the difference. It's natural , almost calorie free and helps ease pain and wind..so thought I would share my experience and hopefully help others

I add a teaspoon of raw brown sugar in my peppermint tea to sweeten it .. I do know it's 15 'empty' calories but needed to sweeten it slightly

I am just over two weeks out and after a very busy day , I feel the same way after waking up the following morning. I think our body takes time to recover Take as much time as you need and as much as you can to fully recover

My date is the 9th Jan..third time lucky ..after a slipped band in 2004 ,GB surgery in 2008 that needs revision..have opted for band again after surgeon's recommendation..hoping for the best
