First me - Now my husband



Recommended Posts

Hello, I was just sent to this website by my doctor. Support is great and I will take it from anywhere I can get it.

I was Banded on 1/27/2011 and my husband got his surgery date today - 3/24/2011. It took insurance 18 days to approve my surgery and only 4 days to approve my husband's. I have been doing great so far, didn't have a lot of pain at all, there hasn't been any major issues with the surgery. While in surgery my doctor noticed that my liver and spleen are enlarged so I have been getting tests to see what that is all about, but overall I have been doing great. I go for my first fill on 3/7/2011, I am looking forward to that, because right now I am pretty much staying hungry all the time.

Have a GREAT day!

Welcome!

It's great that you and your husband will both have the same sort of surgery, you'll be able to support each other and will always have someone to split a meal with when you go out to eat. Too bad you are now so hungry. They call it "bandster hell" 'cause you are banded but don't have the restriction yet to suppress your hunger. Try the "south beach diet" it helps with the hunger issue and is very band friendly.

Good luck on your journey,

      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.
