Just Got Banded-Still Hospitalized



Recommended Posts

I was banded Wednesday & doc wanted me to stay since it was later in the afternoon. No additional tests just routine vitals. Just one dose of Tylenol in hospital & one dose at home.

The gas was bad, but it is relieving.

I can't get a deep breath in, but I have exercises to do.

I am walking & resting... but I am kinda bored already. LOL

I still have some trouble getting up more than anything. I kinda walk hunched over for a minute til I get it moving.

I got my best sleep propped up on the love seat. For me that's an old asthma trick. Then I just had to swing my legs around. Then I had a good base with my legs and the arm of the love seat.

The bed is definitely a lot harder.

I couldn't lay down when I got home yesterday, so I slept sitting up on the couch recliner. But last night I true to lay down on my right side (port is on the left) and was able to sleep, but needed help to get up. That hurts more than anything.

I can't sit on my couch :( I keep sinking in and can't get up. So I sit in a hard dining room table chair, or I sleep in my bed with pillows propped all around me

Thank you for asking. I was also going to ask about the hernias because a few ppl had them repaired. Is this something that they found during the procedure for those of you that had the repair?

Most people have a hyatial hernia, happens from being overweight no extra problems/pain or time in the hosp, they fix it when they band u :)

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
