Banded yesterday and feel terrible!



Recommended Posts

Hi Jetlagjane!

Welcome to the banded side...im a week and a half new myself. A few days after my surgery I did endt up calling the clinic as I had such a pressure/discomfort where the port was. It felt like someone was just pushing down. my hear t was also kinda hurting if that makes sense. She told me it was all normal and would decrease in intensity as the days went by. I had the surgery June 7 and everyday is getting better for me. I still have some weird feelings inside but I expect that sort of stuff.

Like everyone is saying everyday gets better! Do what I did...keep counting the days down till something else exciting comes...like the shower, the full Fluid stage and next week counting down to puree....it will get easier :)

hey consafo,

Did you take your little strips off your cuts too? even your port one. I can't remember if they told me to do that or not, or was I dreaming. The last couple of days have been a blur.

Jetlagjane, NOOOOO

Don't take those puppies off yet!!!

Did they give you the little folder thing with information?

Well, in there is states you take those off on day 7 through 10, and the cuts should be healed before you take them off

Yeah, the days become less blury...i swear that demrol have me a stutter...lol

Marcar35,

I wish I could afford Chanel products!

I'm a fashion student, so it would make my day to try on the designers I aspire to be!!

      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.
