Banded yesterday



Recommended Posts

Hello all,

I'm all banded and home from the hospital. My surgery went very well, but when the Dr got in there he found what he described as a very large Hiatal Hernia, so he took care of that while he was in there. I am in a fair amount of pain, But nothing out of the ordinary. I hope the rest of you Banded on the 14th made out well. Looking forward to hearing about your experiences.

Hello,

I was also banded yesterday at 7:15 am. It went pretty well. The only pain I have is in my stomach...just feels like sore muscles (thank god for the heating pad). So the hardest thing is getting out of the recliner, other than that I feel pretty good so far. I am not hungry, and I am able to fluids normal with no problems.

Good Luck to you and all the other January Bandsters:biggrin:

I was banded yesterday as well and still in a lot of pain. It is somewhat better than last night and I am sure it will be better tomorrow.

      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.
