Banded this morning Sept. 1



Recommended Posts

I was banded this morning and back to day surgery room by 10am. Sipping Water very slowly. Gas is very minimal and dissapates when I walk/move my arms. Do need the pain meds at times and they really help. No food until noon tomorrow. Probably greek yogurt as pureered eggs just does not sit will with me. Maybe that will change. Still pretty weak. Walked through grocery story with hubby and was a bit too much. First step over.

Glad i.t went well. Welcome to Bandland!

HI Cathy, I am wondering if you can tell me where I can locate and download the weight ticker. Also, and I know it's been a while now, but how do you eat one tiny bite every 2mins. and get enough food in 45 mins. Thank you for any help. Thank you too for having me as one of your lap buddies!

I have a lot of trouble getting my Protein and my Water, so I am probably not the best one to ask :lol:. Although, since I have been on mushies this week it has gotten so much easier.

Congrats! So glad your surgery went well. Mine is Tuesday morning Sept. 6 at 7 AM.

I was banded this morning and back to day surgery room by 10am. Sipping Water very slowly. Gas is very minimal and dissapates when I walk/move my arms. Do need the pain meds at times and they really help. No food until noon tomorrow. Probably greek yogurt as pureered eggs just does not sit will with me. Maybe that will change. Still pretty weak.

Best of luck to you! I think we had the same doctor band us. I am doing well, and I know you will, too. Just follow the rules and enjoy the journey.

      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
