Hello Jill114,

I am newly banded and have lost 30 pounds thus far. 10 pre-op and 20 post op. I do not have sore ankles anymore and my right knee no longer hurts, because of the weight loss.

I am able to exercise more frequently and for longer periods of time. I have dropped two pant sizes and have so much energy. I am amazed at the difference 30 pounds less can make on my physical and mental health.

I have no regrets with my decision to be banded. :tt1:

Good luck with your journey.

      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.
