September banders



Recommended Posts

I was banded on sept 2 just checking to see how everyone is doing that was banded around the same time. I'm stiil learning my band . I learn something new everyday . One thing I know it's hard to for me to get all my Protein in. But what works for me is when I wake up in the morning that's when I can drink the most so I try to drink my Protein Shake then. According to my scale I've lost 8lbs since surgery . But all scales r different so I'll wait till I get my first fill on oct 1st. So how's everyone else doing ??

Hi, I had my surgery on Sept.4. I go for my first fill tomorrow and I'm sorta nervous about it LOL. I have been doing really good and I'm not having any problems getting my Protein or eating soft foods. I actually feel like I could eat more?? I'm hoping the fill will help with that. I haven't gotten sick once on anything I've eaten so I'm keeping my fingers crossed everything keeps going smoothly. According to my scale, I've lost 14 1/2 lbs since surgery but I'll see for sure tomorrow :) GOOD LUCK!!!

I was banded 9/5. I have lost 10lbs since surgery, for a total of 27.5 since the start of my pre-op diet. I don't have any liquid in my band, but still feel restriction. I should be getting my first fill next week sometime.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
