I was banded yesterday, 10/12/09. Surgery went smoothly. They also fixed a hernia, that I didn't even know I had, around my esophagus and stomach. I am a little sore, especially around my shoulders from the gas, but no pain thanks to the disgusting liquid pain meds.

Good luck to the rest of the Oct. bansters getting ready!:thumbup:

I want to say congrats to all of you that's been banded this month. I too was banded Oct 1st. Smooth recovery except for some gas pain's. Milk of Mag did the trick.

I hope everyone is doing well and to those of you still waiting on your date. You will be in my thoughts and prayers during surgery. GO OCTOBER BANDSTERS.

My total weight lose to date is 35 lbs. How great is that? I can really tell in my Bra's.lmao the boob are leaveing me. Yikes.

That is so wonderful for you! I have only lost 10 pounds but I only did a 48 hr fast pre surgery & I only have 30-40 to lose. I understand it will take longer for me and I'm ok with that.

I'm sad to see my boobs shrink as well but that too was expected so I am thinking of an augmentation next year.

I returned to work 1 week after gurgery and I could tell right away my uniform was not as tight as before. It definetely is a huge motivator!

Can't wait till my 1st fill. Unfortunately it won't be until mid-Nov. since I am going to Europe & I don't want complications abroad...

Good Luck!

We are on our way!!!

BTW: you know you are our big sister since you went Oct 1st, right?

My op is scheduled for 10/20. Looking forward to it but the days and nights are moving too slow. Thankful though, that I was not put on liquid diet by my surgeon. Congrats to all the October Bandsters who have had their ops already. Good Luck to the rest of us.

How are all the new bandsters doing. Had mine on the 13th and doing really well. Only took one percocet on the 13th and that was it. Very little gas pain.

Did not do well drinking yesterday...but today is better...got my first shake down already.

So for those that are waiting...no worries..you will do fine!

I will be thinking of you!

      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.

      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.
