October 2010 Bandsters!!



Recommended Posts

I finally got my date today!! Woohoo! Feel like I have been waiting forever. October 18th they offered me the 5th but b/c of my work schedule I could not do it :( I feel so much better though that I have a date and can now make plans, with time off work etc...

Who else is getting banded in October? I think it will be nice to have others to compare feelings and stories with, as we are going through this.

Good Luck to everyone! New Chapter here I come :)

I am also getting banded on the 18th...Congrats to both of us!:smile2:

My daughter just had laparoscopic surgery for chronic appendicitis and she says coming home she had absolutely no stomach/incision pain at all. I will definitely take a pillow just in case.

I am scheduled for October 26th. Go for my pre-op on the 9th and I must say I am getting a little nervous. Is this normal? :smile2:

I got my band yesterday. Surgery was at 8am and was out of there by 2pm. I am a little sore but nothing major, mainly when I move. Gas has not been a big problem except when I try to eat chicken broth. I stayed on Clear Liquids yesterday and today Im sipping on a Protein Shake with no problems. I have to say Im not hungry at all. Good luck everyone. So far so good with me.

I know for some, you already know this. But I wanted to mention this to others that may not.

Ive been on pain meds for a while stemming from a really bad auto accident. My primary doctor would not sign my release for surgery unless I stopped taking Ibuprofen. She said its a big no no and to stay off it a week before surgery. She prescribed me Vicodin instead for the week.

And congrats to you Donna. I cant wait until I get mine.

Tuesday can't come quick enough!! I have to be there at 6am, which means I'll have to leave my house by 5am....my brother will be so happy to hear this!! At least traffic won't be an issue! I'm soooo glad I'll be one of the first surgeries of the day. That means I'll be home by noon. I can't wait to be off this pre-op "diet" and begin my new way of life. No more "diets" for me!!

Its going to be great for us all to be on the post-op side. Just remember, you're not in this alone...we're all in it together!! :smile2:

Congrats Donna! I had mine yesterday as well. So far so good. I'm still sore, mostly muscular, I guess it is where the port was attached. Of the 5 incisions that is the only one that hurts. I have no appetite but I'm trying to get my fluids down, I just don't feel thirsty or hungry! My surgery was at 7:30 and I was home by noon...hard to believe! Best of luck to you!

      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.
