October 2006 Bandsters!



Recommended Posts

Hello all you October Bandsters. I was banded on Oct. 5th in Mexico, but Dr. Rumbaut. I have lost 10 lbs, but I am having lots of problems with gas. I have heard this is normal, I hope so. I seems that it is stuck in my stomach and won't move anywhere. Good luck to everyone!!!

You can get the bullet things at department stores like Kohls. Or they have a bunch of them on eBay. I don't have one yet, but that is what I have read on another chat board.

Pain in the shoulder is a referred pain. It is a result of the incision in the upper abdomen. Pain in the left arm during a heart attack is a result of the same process.

Congrats to all of the people newly " on the bandwagon". It is so great that you all check in and update us on your progress and experiences. Very valuable info for all of us who will be "with the band" soon. Ok, enough puns:)

Does anyone have a track of what state all of us Oct bandsters are from. I think it would be fun to maybe have a little local reunion some time down the road with the people who have gone through the same thing and live fairly close. Mabye a 1 yr reunion????

Also, Aza, good luck on the ride home. I too am not telling anyone except my hubby and one friend. I just don't want to have the discussion right now. It is hard to keep it to myself though. I have to tell a bunch of "white lies";)

      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.
