I was banded on Dec 10th! I was miserable all last week. The first 3 days were rough and then it got better. The soreness is temporary and you just have to remind yourself that soreness goes away! I was banded on a Friday. On Tuesday I had some MAJOR impacted bowels! YUCK! Now my dr has me on Colace. I also ended up with a sinus infection and had a bad cough. Not what you want with stitches.

I feel better now. tummy is still a little sore but am going to the dr today to get my stitches out... except the one where the port is. I think that will help because they itch and sting. I have also noticed a small knot under on of the stitches. I don't know what that is. I have to call the doctor. I have gone down 8 lbs since my surgery! I am thrilled at that because I didn't expect to really lose until my adjustments started. I get to introduce Proteins on Thursday! Yeah! The liquid diet is started to annoy me. Maybe it's the hollidays... don't know. All in all I'm pretty please so far.

I also itched from Morphine from a past surgery. And it didn't work for the pain. So, now I tell the dr I am allergic and they don't give it to me. You are probably having an allergic reaction to it and may want to let your primary care dr know.

Good luck everyone!

I was banded yesterday as well and I'm in pain my but stomach isn't bloated, like it was yesterday. Was on a morphine pump overnight at the hospital, now I'm happy I spent the nigh, but my 3:30 this afternoon I was given my first does of liquid pain killers. It was nasty and I drank too much Water and that made me even more miserable.

I also itch like crazy, from the morphine.

    Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

  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
