I'm Official I Have a Band!



Recommended Posts

Woo Hoo! Just sitting in recovery waiting to go home. I have my band and I feel great - nothing to stress about. I just got up and about and walked the halls and felt great.

My tummy is a bit sore - I have six incisions with little bandages on them. I took some before pics last night - I told my daughter one last time we have to get some pictures, I usually shy away from having my picture taken, but we did it. I will try to get them posted.

The surgery was pretty quick the only thing that was bothersome was how dry my mouth was and I had to wait to get my sips of Water. The pain killers are fogging my brain, so disregard the random babbling.

Good luck and don't stress to the rest of the August All-Stars! We are off on a great journey!:)

Kristen; That is the fastest post from surgery. I was home before I posted. Glad you feel so well. I am on day 4 and could shower today and am looking forward to a Protein Shake in the morning. It's the little things we celebrate!

I'm gonna guess Blackberry? Or is it IPhone? Either way, congratulations on your new "accessory."

I became a citizen of Bandland today as well. Feels good to get it over with. It will be tomorrow before I go home but it's for the best since I have a 4 hour ride home. I am not looking forward to that one. Anyway, congrats to you and all the other 5thsters.

Thanks for all of the well wishes! I appreciate all of the support.

I actually had my husbands computer while I was sitting and waiting to go home. I had to stay longer in recovery, so I was bored and got to play on the computer. We have dialup at home :), so the wireless is always a treat!:)

Best wishes to all that were banded today!

Good luck and safe surgery to everyone that goes in tomorrow!

The August All Stars are on their way!

      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.
