I everyone!! My name is Catherine and I am in Australia, I was banded on the 15th may and I have not had shoulder tip pain but bad bad gas pain and I feel like I want to explode. Very excited for my new journey and after a rough 2 years I am looking forward to a new me. Not feeling hungry just very sore. My surgeon said I was easiest surgery he had done in a while. Nice to meet u all and at moment your stories and updates are inspiring and helpful. Xx

Hi Catherine

Good for you. I'm feeling similar to you. Like my ribs are going to explode. But I'm hoping it'll pass.

Good luck with your journey.

Hi. I got banded MayY 10TH. I had a bit of nausea for the first week but now I am fine. Still a bit sore around the incision marks but nothing really bad. Funny thing, after looking at the photos I was given of the band inside after surgery, I was convinced that I had a huge thiing inside me. Duh.. blown up photos :) I had my post op yesterday and was down 20 lbs in the last 25 days... yeah....

      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.
