Anyone Getting Banded In September?



Recommended Posts

Hi September Bandsters,

I just posted my surgery experience on "Post Op Forum" under, Surgery yesterday/things did not go as hoped.

I hope all of you are doing well and T&P to all who are recovering and those who are having surgery.

Hey everyone, just checking in. I was banded on Monday. Doc had me stay overnight just as a precautionary. Went home Tuesday and am now on a full liquid diet, taking in 2-3 ounces per hour. I'm also sipping my Water throughout the day. Still in a bit of pain when I go to stand up or sit down. Getting out of bed is difficult and I can only lay on my back. You never realize just how much you use your abdominal muscles until you can't! I've been up walking around, went to the grocery store yesterday and went to Walmart this morning to pick up a few things. I have my Mom staying with me until Saturday. Good luck to all the bandsters to come! :)

Hi everyone!

I got banded Tuesday and I'm doing good. I've been taking the pain medicine once a day and that's working for me bc it taste awful. I'm mostly in pain when I get up from sitting other than that pretty good. In fact, right now I'm getting a pedi :) and hoping to go back to work tomorrow.

I'll keep y'all posted :) (I'm a Louisiana girl :))

Surgery first thing in the Am. Nervous as heck, never have had surgery. My surgeon told me at the Pre-op that he would definitely have some Valium waiting on me lol I guess he could tell I was anxious!

Don't worry! Everything will be fine. Nervousness is normal, but you'll be okay! I was out cold before I even got to the operating room, and have no memory of initially waking up. Things were very pleasant other than being sore which is to be expected. Good luck, and keep us posted!

Are you kidding me? You're one person! The good outweighs the risk by far. I'm sorry that you're having problems, but don't try to make the rest of us think it's all bad. All of my banded friends are doing great and love 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. 🤞
