Just got banded 4 hours ago, I was SO nervous but it wasnt as bad as I expected :) woke up with pain but they gave me pain relief and now I'm fine, just drugged up so sorry if I spell things wrong lol the funny thing is that I don't feel like there's a band inside me :/ lol it's strange.

Congratulations! Get better soon!

Don't worry about spelling, only a few think it's their job to monitor. That's not what we're here for. It's support!

Thanks guys! I feel weird though, like I feel there is no band in me? I can drink a fair big of Water. I suppose in 2 weeks il soon realise how much of a difference it makes when I eat soft food? Anyone else ever wake up after their op thinking 'hold on.. I don't feel like anything is inside me, and I can drink quite a bit of fluids?'

That will be me. I'm 11 days post op still woundered if there is something there or if it detached or something. The only thing I know is there is the port because of swelling. But I do have a little restriction on thicker liquids or it's just me not feeling like eating.

I mean I'm no doctor or anything but I would just say its your internal stritches healing still :) of course we will have lumps and bumps for a while but if they are really concerning you, if they are uncomfortable or oozing still then call your doctor/consultant. Otherwise I wouldn't really worry about it. :)

      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.
