Banded And Feeling Wonderful!!



Recommended Posts

I am 2 days post-op and feeling wonderful. I do have some soreness but other than that everyday gets better! So far I have tolerated everything. No nausea or vomiting. I am walking, taking my supplements and getting my meals and Protein Shakes in. I am right on track. Just wanted to give you all an update. Good luck to all having surgeries coming up!

Gas has been awful for me as well otter. On day four my doc told me milk of magnesium which really made me feel so much better but it still sucks!

Followup...I did it! I was banded today, March 15th

No problems, just some soreness. No nauseousness. I can walk great but getting up is the challenge. The nurse said the nauseousness folks get is from the anesthesia, any surgery would be a problem for them, so no problem for me.

already tired of broth and Jello :). Progressive Soup is the best, drain the broth for and share the noodles n stuff with my partner. This was (is) a lot better than the Campbell's beef broth.

so far so good

Tina

      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.
