May 19 Bandsters



Recommended Posts

I know there are quite a few out there. I was banded yesterday morning and was in and out without much of a problem. Recovery is going well but I am a stomach sleeper so having to sleep on my back has been a learning experience.

I am obviously on a liquid diet but I can't drink very much at all. No regurgitation but I get a full feeling that is uncomfortable after about three or four sips. Hopefully that is just swelling and inflammation from the band install.

What is your experiences so far?:laugh:

Congrats Sotex! I was also banded yesterday. I had my operation in the late afternoon and stayed overnight per hospital guidelines. I had a bit of a reaction to the anesthesia - when I got up for the first time last night to go to the bathroom, I got dizzy, nauseous, and started sweating. Eventually that went away, but I think that stuff took a while to leave my body.

Today I'm just sore like I did way too many crunches (getting up and laying down are painful), and I have that phantom left shoulder pain that I've read is caused by internal gas pressure. That pain has nearly gone away, but the strange thing is I haven't passed any gas at all. Nothing. At least not yet....

Finding it hard to drink much as well. I haven't felt too full yet but I just find that I'm taking small sips and not wanting to test the limits. Will be interesting to see how the next few days go - I'll keep checking in.

In the meantime, hope everyone else from the May 19th group is resting, relaxing, and recovering. Let us know how you're doing!

Banded May 5th. I am down 54lbs.:) Started at 212, down to 158. Only 28lbs away from my goal.:smile: From a size 18 to now a size 8/10. Best thing I have EVER done for myself! Just had another fill on Sept. 3rd. I losing count how many fills i have had now, but I am up to 7.9cc's in a 10cc band. Dr. Kirshenbaum is very pleased with my progress. Said i am a poster child for lapband, lol. I can eat anything and have never had any problems what-so-ever. I guess I am one of the lucky few. Best money I have ever spent. SOooooooo HAPPY!!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
