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 !

      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. 🤞

      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.
