Anyone getting banded in Nov?



Recommended Posts

Novemvber 20th is my banding date. I am having some anxiety about this. Not so much the actual surgery, but how well I will do afterward. I am excited to beccome healthy, have energy and less pain with joints etc., Just a tad jumpy at this new life coming my way. Anyone else feeling this?

@@yaya1397 @@Yadiordz Howdy there November 2013 Banders! We have similar stats, I believe -- it's been a marvelous year. Could I have lost more than 67 pounds? Well, maybe, but I am not in this for a lot of hard work. Those dieting days are over. I am looking forward to dropping another 20 and seeing where I am then. We are AMAZING!

Today is my one year bandiversary! Weight day of surgery was 345lbs this am 315.8lbs

Not as low as my goal of 175lbs but I'll get there one day at a time! My band and I haven't always gotten along and as of right now she's in timeout with some Fluid removed- she was making her presents known too well with causing me pain. Hopefully next week she can get ungrounded and get her fluid back and start acting right again!

Today I feel pretty good. Been a rocky week. Getting use to this tightness feeling and gas is interesting lol. Just learning my body all over again with new taste buds and making myself drink because I have no hunger at all. How are you doing this week with everything?

I feel the same way with the gas! I was never really gassy before the surgery. Now I'm so gassy that when I walk I can feel it moving around inside me.

I just got over my Constipation and so concentrating on Water intake and getting my Protein in. One day at a time.

My 1 year anniversary is coming up on the 20th. This was the best decision I have ever made. Surgery went well, post surgery was good and I have only had a few nights of pain throughout this whole year. It was all my fault and ate way too much. I have lost 75lbs and hope to lose about 40 to go. Good luck to all new bandsters it's going to be a good thing. I finally have my life back. ????

      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.
