Just got my band today



Recommended Posts

And I'm surprisingly in almost no pain? I can walk, have a little gas pain in my shoulder but that went away with moving around. Did anyone else experience this? I'm hoping the pain doesn't come big time tomorrow!

Congrats! I got mine today too, also little pain, although I have discomfort in my shoulders as well as my belly when I go from sitting to standing. I'm sure the Percocet has a lot to do with it (I have a sensitivity to Vicodin so they gave me something stronger). I am super tired right now. Good on you for walking - that is really key to feeling better sooner. I took one short wall this afternoon and will go for another this evening.

I hope to be proven wrong and I am pre op but have had my fair share of surgeries and usually it takes a couple days for the pain to come due to the anesthesia still being in your system for a coupe days.

Like I said I hope I am proven wrong and you have no more discomfort than what you are feeling now!

Congrats to everyone that was banded today!

I actually did have to go get my daughter. Granted, we live less than a mile from her school, but I wasn't sure I was up to walking two miles. I might try to tomorrow. I stopped taking pain medicine at 7 this morning but took a little tonight.

      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.

      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.
