I'm A BANDSTER!



Recommended Posts

Ladies and Gentlemen....

I'm an official bandster now!

I feel like I gained 50lbs from the air...all the nurses were impressed at how much I wanted to walk around...just made some cherry Jello and am going to bed!

Thanks for all your great info...I'm hurting a little but it is similar to my gallbladder...piece of cake! Let's just hope the bloat wears off soon!

Welcome to the other side! Can't believe it's almost a week for me. The hardest part still is getting in and out of bed, but went to work today and did just fine. One of the gals at work is going to her first seminar on Monday at Froedtert. It will be interesting to compare notes on all of our different experiences within the Milwaukee area; different docs, hospitals, etc.

You really did help yourself by walking right away. All the other bandsters were right; the more you walk, the better you feel. It's too hilly where I live to walk comfortably outside right now, so I took laps around the DR, LR and Kitchen - just like the grandkids do! Maybe I'll try to catch them this weekend!!!

Be good to yourself and get enough rest. Again, congratulations!

:D :D :D

      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.
