1 week banded



Recommended Posts

Hello, I was banded 02/10/2011 i'm down 23 lbs (including 15 pre op) I have a question about soreness.....

I fell really sore by my belly button and if you feel my stomach it's quite hard and you can feel a large "knot" i guess?

My questions is if it's normal to still be sore a week out or if it's normal since i'm healing?

It is very normal ! Its going to be sore for a little bit and swollen! You will start feeling fully normal in probably another week or so! But no worrys unless its just so unbearable you can't take it! Good luck with your lapband and congrats on the weight loss!

I found out today it's my port lol I thought it was on my side guess not!

Congrats on the band I was banded on Wed 2/16 and feeling pretty darn good, I've walked everyday except when the rain got in the way. Of course I'm sore but bearable. I actually have taken the pain meds at night it's helped me sleep great. I'm hoping the soreness goes away soon I've got an important golf tourney coming up in a short time.... I played catch with my son today I was sore throwing but i was very very careful.....

I was banded on 2-14 and I'm really sore and gassy! I can't wait for this gas to go away : ) Good luck all

I got banded 2/14 also and have no more gas but random discomfort. The only thing I'm taking now is my multi Vitamin. I'm very tight in my stomach when I first wake up and it takes me a while to get out of bed physically. Other than that I'm pretty good.

      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.

      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.
