Hello all, I was banded on yesterday and it was awesome.:) I went to surgery at 10:50am and was discharged at 4:15. Dr. Enoch did the SIL (single lapband incision) everything went so smooth. We stopped to wal-greens to get my liquid loratab...when I got home I walked around my house for a little exercise. Just sore and a little gassy, I take my pain meds every 4 hours like clock work it really helps. I am not hungry that is so amazing to me.:) Doc put a 10cc band in not sure how much Fluid but I know he put a little to keep the port line straight. Well don't let me bore yall, going for a ride in a little bit. First day of spring and it is beautiful here in NC.

I was banded yesterday and I must admit I had NO pain or discomfort!! I was amazed! I expected to be whining or at least moaning. Nothing. Now today, it seems like my Water is getting stuck. Stomach is making LOUD noises.

As someone who was banded on 2/23, let me first say congrats! Next, be sure not to overdo it. You are in the first stages of healing, your stomach is swollen, so things will feel a little tight going down and once the gas starts moving around and the gas pains start, you might not be feeling so well as you are now. Heating pads and Gas-X helps with those pains. be sure to get in your fluids to prevent dehydration and try and get some calories in via Protien shakes and Soup.

remember it take time to heal so just watch yourself! :laugh:

Thank you very much for the sound advice. I can definately feel the gas starting to work its way around. I did not do as well with my Water consumption yesterday, but I'm on it today. I'm trying to stay off the pain medicine today.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
