Bandster hell is the time immediately following surgery when you do not yet have a fill.

The doctor won't give you a fill because your body needs time to heal from the surgery.

Without a fill you will not feel and restriction so you will be hungry just like before the surgery.

This is the hell people refer to because you've made the bold move of going ahead and having the surgery, but you are not seeing any of the results or feeling the benefits of it yet.

Personally, I never had bandster hell, felt not hungry from the beginning. Best of luck with your surgery!

      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.
