Bewbie - banded 2/15



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

I'm so glad I found this support site. I was banded on 2/15 and boy does it hurt! If I could just get rid of this gas I think I would be more comfortable. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks alot!

congrats on being newly banded. I found that the best things that have helped my gas are the gas-x strips that disolve in your mouth and lots and lots of walking. Good luck and it will get better!

Hello there! I was banded on February12! I know exactly what you mean about the gas, the best thing to do is walk, walk, walk. I am doing a lot better it is just my port site that still hurts. It hurts most if I have been sitting for a bit and then try to get up again. But isnt this very exciting. There is a light at the end of the tunnel!

Hi and welcome to LBT! I was banded on 1/30/07 and had my fair share of gas. I agree with what has already been said-gasx,and walking. I would also add a heating pad. All of these really helped with the gas situation. Best of luck to you! Gigi:)

      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.
