Hi Lady!

I haven't been banded yet either. But was June 17 the day you got banded? If so, how has it been so far, what was your experience in hospital, is there any advice you can give us prebies?

Welcome!!!

Hi Shinnyoneday!

I was banded on June 17th, Everything went really smooth. I didn't have that much pain coming out of surgery, but a few hours later the pain really hits your exspecially if your going to try walking right away like they want you to.. Just take it as slow as you can. After going home I was in pain from the gas that they put in during surgery :thumbup: that really stay with me for almost a week... The gas was worse than the pain of the incision( imagine that):) After my 6th or 7th day I was ok :redface:. Around the 2nd week I felt like a new person. I lost about 10 lbs in that 1st week :thumbup: there after 6lbs over the next 2 weeks.(23 day post-op) Now it's kind of slowed down..My advice to you is, just make sure you follow the phrases as close as you can... And be patient the weight isn't going to come off as quick as we would like unfortunately :blush: But it does come off... That's the great thing:thumbup: . All together it's been a great experience for me. I'm really,really excited about the weight coming off.. My 1st fill is Aug. 7th. I pray that everything goes well with your journey to being shinny1day. That's cute:biggrin:

Have a bless weekend!!:thumbup:

        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
