Hello fellow banders and future banders:

I was banded last Monday 11/07/05. It has been a rough few days with being nauseated. Today I am starting to feel better. I am very excited about the band and look forward to losing about 100lbs. The overall experience has not been that bad. I look forward to communicating on Lapband talk with all the friendly people here.

Have a great Day and Weekend (whats left of it)

John

Banded: 11/07/05 294lbs

Goal: 190

Hey John,

I was banded last Monday Nov 7 also! :) I'm doing better, but have to take my Gas-X for my shoulder pain. Other than that I'm doing better everyday. I have a little over 100 pounds to lose. I have already lost about 6 pounds already and ready to lose more. I know it is only the liguid diet taking off the pounds, but it is a good motivation to start with. I'm getting a little sick of the liguids already, but not sure I could tolerate food just let. The liguids are doing just fine. I go to mushie food on Tuesday Nov 15, one week out from surgery. Then mushies for about 2 weeks or so. Nice to know there is this site for comfort and information.

Hope to chat again!

Glad you are here! I was banded on Tuesday so we are pretty much in the same boat. The first couple of days were rough but I too feel much better now. Good luck to you and welcome to the board,

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
