I had my band put in Tues the 4th



Recommended Posts

Things went great at the hospital, I was in surgery for about 45 minutes then in recover for about 1/2 or so and on to my room by 11:20 walking and going to the bathroom. I opted to stay the night since I lived a couple hours away & I paid for it, let them wait on me & I was hooked to pain med's if I started to have pain. Happly things went very well and I was home 24 hours after surgery.

I have an uncomfortable feeling, the gas probably and my stomach looks very big & blotted. I am not hungry at all, but I have had Water, broth, Jello & a bit of Decaf coffee. I am sleeping alot & going to the bathroom alot, but all & all I feel pretty good, not a lot of gas pain & my stomach is going down & I have a bit of gas. So all of you that are worried or nervous really not a lot pain, just discomfort, this is my first surgery ever too.

Things could change I will keep you posted.

:clap2: I did it.

Congratulations on the surgery! Makes me feel better about the decision hearing things went so well. I'm really concerned about the gas pain issue.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
