I was banded on the 9th as well! How is your progress? How are you healing? Any weight loss?

I am actually surprised at how easy it was... not too much pain at all... but I am hungry! 4 lbs down so far so I am excited as well

Hey! So I was banded on January 9th. At the day of surgery I weighed 200.7 lbs. I weighed myself the day after and was close to 205 (I guess swelling and all that). Today, January 14th I am 196 lbs. Already out of the dreaded 200lbs!!!!!! I guess my first goal is to reach 185lbs by the 26th (the day of my post op visit). Do you guys think it is doable? Any advice? I am excited but also terrified!

I am two days post up and this is one of my biggest concerns... I am a 36DDD now at 200.7 lbs, at about 160 lbs I was a 34 DD..... will my boobs go back to that again? Will they sag? (my only pride lies in the fact that they are perky even at this huge size).....

How soon can someone expect to see some weight changes? I am now 2 days post-op and actually weigh more today then I did the day of my surgery. Can it be the gas and swelling? Also... how long did it take until you went number 2.... I took ducolax today in the morning and still nothing........

Hi! My name is Irene and I am 25 years old. I was banded yesterday, January 9th by Dr. Bessler of NY Columbia/Presbyterian. The surgery went fine, or so I am told. My starting weight yesterday was 200.7, and my ultimate goal is to get down to 124. My doctors goals are a little higher, at 145 lbs. Well, we shall see. So far I have not experienced too much pain, but I am hungry! Is this normal? Right after surgery?
