Banded Oct 4th



Recommended Posts

Well it’s on , only 5 incisions and my Dr. told my wife that it was text book operation. I am bit sore; the pain med is working on that though. And I am now noticing some gas pain walking around is the only thing that helps. Was in bed for a while once I got home but getting up is no fun so I pace around. liquids are no problem I can’t wait to be off of the clear liquid and can add some Soups and slim fast back into my diet.

I know exactly how you feel. I was banded on the 3rd and everything went really well. Like you, I am pacing my house due to gas/wind pain. Fluids are going down no problem. Thank goodness for the painkillers cause they have helped heaps.

I can't believe all the build up to the operation is over and I am now officially banded - what a great feeling.

I am so glad to hear everything went well. I am leaving for my surgery in an hour. My stomach is so nervous. I can't wait to get this part over, I keep wanting to chicken out.

      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.
