So This is My First Week Of Being Banded, i Like it, But i Don't. i Think I'm Going Through A Phase, My Body is Confusing Me, I Feel Hungry But I'm Not, Like When i Haven't Eaten Anything Practically ALL DAY, i Still Can't Eat. And My insides Feel Weird Like The band is Floating Around Or Something. Lol. Has Anyone Felt These Feelings Before, Or is it Just Me?!

That's how I feel. I was banded on the 4th. There are moments where I am so mad I did this cause I just want something other than liquids! I also feel like my organs are moving anytime I shift or roll laying down. I also feel like I'm having a heart attack everytime I burp.

Omg! Me Too! i Was Banded On The 5th. And Yes, This liquids Thing is Really Challenging, but i Have To Make Myself Look At The Bright Side. The Only Thing i Would Like Right Now is For My insides To Sit Still An Stop moving Everywhere! Lol. This is Really Agitating, And i Can't Burp, it Hurts Too Bad!! -___-

Everything you all are feeling is perfectly normal. Just continue to stick to your diet and you will all heal correctly and do fine! I am 5 months post op and have lost 50lbs and I felt just like each of you in the beginning. I had a hiatal hernia repair and it took awhile to be able to burp without pain but it finally does go away.

I'm not really that sore. I'm ready to sleep on my stomach though! Did any of you try gasx? I read something about it on here but haven't tried it.

I was banded the same week as you..the only thing thats bothering me so far is the discomfort.I don't really feel so much pain or floating I'm just uncomfortable sleeping...I am also sleeping on a recliner..I'm tired of it already...I got my steri strips removed today so hopefully i'll be back to "normal" soon.

I was banded on the 5th. The bubbles that come up remind me of a break room Water cooler. Once they start they just keep coming! It is really difficult to get calories in and water is hard too but I'm doing good otherwise. No pain meds or nausea meds needed...but gasX is a must!

      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
