Got banded today!!



Recommended Posts

I got banded today! Very exciting and nerve wracking all at the same time. One of my incisions started bleeding excessively and I had to go back to the clinic. Ended up being a small blood clot... nothing too serious. They bandaged me back up and sent me on my way

I'm having a fair bit of pain from the gas that they pump in to do the procedure.. hoping that that will dissipate over the next few days. I'm surprised that I can't feel the band.. there isn't any tightness inside. The pain that I'm having in my stomach is superficial (on the surface)... and the gas of course. I had a hard time breathing when I first woke up but that has eased off a little. The nurse said that it was caused by the gas around my lungs.

Anywho... just wanted to share my news. I'll keep updating in the days to come! :(

Thanks for all the kind words everyone! The pain in my chest is a bit better today. Before bed last night I experienced very sharp pain in my right shoulder.. it lasted about an hour. It was so bad that it brought me to tears.... thankfully it didn't last all that long. I've been prescribed liquid codine for the pain and haven't had to take any since 10:30 last night... it's around 5:00 am now (I'm still jet lagged) and I'm getting ready to have my first taste of clear Soup broth. Hoping that my recovery will continue to go smoothly. I'm flying back home tomorrow (about a 3 hour flight) so I'm hoping that I'll be feeling comfortable and don't have any pain sitting on the plane for that long.

To anyone who's considering having this done... the first day kind of sucks. But if the way I'm feeling now is any indication of how my recovery will continually progress, I should be back to normal in no time.

      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.
