Hi Catherine and welcome! I am still somewhat new here myself. My surgery is set for Sept 10th.. and the excitement and nervousness are starting to kick in. Have you started your pre op diet yet? I started mine last Friday.. missing food but so far so good!

Welcome!! I am about a month out of being banded and i must say the best thing i ever did!! You will be nervous prior to the surgery but from my own experience the surgery was a piece of cake. you will feel discomfort from the air that gets into your abdomen and that is probably the worst of it. The incisions didnt hurt that bad. I didnt even take the pain meds and i am a big baby when it comes to stuff like this lol. In fact I was at my sons football practice the next day. You will be tired from not having any Protein but it comes and go's. Good luck!!!!

      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.
