My 2nd band was put in on Tuesday. I'm way more swollen today than yesterday. Can you newbies tell me when the swelling started to leave you? I'm planning to go back to work on Monday (desk job), however I'll have to buy some bigger blouses if it's not down yet.

Please let me know which day you saw improvement.

I love my new band and look forward to it being my belly cop.

Why did you need a 2nd band put in, I've never heard of that before, unless there was a problem with your first one?

Don't you have any loose fitting tops? Hopefully you're just full of air right now and the swelling goes down very shortly!

Good luck

I had a small slip that was very stubborn about moving back into position. Just wouldn't do it!

So, band number 2 just shy of my third bandiversary.

Thanks for the explanation. I was worried about that at the beginning, because I felt like I was eating way too much food, but they've assured me it's in the right spot.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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.
