Banded July 23



Recommended Posts

I was banded yesterday and I have to say I'm doing great. More of a tummy ache than pain. Keeping moving helps gas. I didn't sleep well lying down coughed alot but if I propped up I was good. Drinking Unjury unflavored in Water today and unjury chicken broth. Overall not as bad as I expected.

I was banded on the 23rd also! A friend made me homemade chicken Soup and the broth was delicious! Best thing I've had so far!!!

How are all my July banded pals doing? I'm doing okay. Starting to get hungry but still having stuck issues at least I think that's what the feeling is. I feel like I can't breathe and my esophagus gurgles then after short time I burp or make more noises and we're good. It's strange and I'm not sure why it happens because more often then not its soft foods. I can't really eat meats well and I only have 2cc in band. The nurses said it wouldn't make a difference but something is !

      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.
