Banded 17 Sep 2012



Recommended Posts

Hi Guys, I was banded yesterday! The first few hours were a bit rough, but my nursing team was awesome. They were in my room before my finger came off the call button. I'm feeling a lot better today, ready to start my journey.

I was banded yesterday as well......on the table at 8 and home by noon. I feel pretty good, a bit discomfort like sore abs x4 from gym and bruising but no pain. I am taking my oxycodone on schedule yesterday and today to stay ahead of the pain, on my anitbiotics and gave myself my first of 7 needles. I slept most of the night last night and even managed to sleep on my side. So all in all, I am alot better than I thought.

Glad you are feeling good and make sure to get that Water in and walk around. Take care of yourself!!!

Congratulations! Welcome to your journey :rolleyes: Remember, the first six weeks are for healing, so, take it easy on yourself for a while. Then, kick butt!

Sooo true! Definitely take your time to heal. I tried to go back to work after 4 days! I would not suggest that to anyone. Ended up being off even longer. Take your time!

      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.
