Questions....band surgery 5/3



Recommended Posts

Ok....

So a couple of questions for all of you band pros out there.

What is band erosion?

Did you have to go through a physciatric appt before you were approved?

What is the best tasting Protein shake?

What pre op / post op surgory advice can you give?

Can you swallow Vitamins or should I do liquid vitamins?

All of the "filled to much can't swallow and am pucking" is scarying me......:nervous

Any words for the wise....I really am excited to lose the weight just getting nervous. I have a bad stomach aches anyways and don't want the band to make it worse!

Hope everyone is well.......let me know!

I can only input on two of the questions...

Yes, I had to go through psych evaluation - frankly that's what I was most worried about. I hate people poking around in my mind! :phanvan

My primary doctor has told me that she'll prescribe me "strip" Vitamins once I have surgery. She equated them to those little listerine strips you put on your tongue for fresh breath.

      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.
