Hello Banders I am a new member and I am excited!!!!!



Recommended Posts

Hello Everyone,

I was banded on 20th Dec 2005 in The Ave Private Hosp Melbourne Australia - I was scheduled the month before but I changed my mind and changed my mind again. I feel great! Apart from the annoying gas and sometimes shoulder tip pain I am roaring and ready to go. My sister was banded several months ago and she has been sick every day (hence my decision to cancel) But she has now discovered she has gaustones and needs an op to remove the gaubladder. I havent felt hungry at all and forget to drink my Soup. Is it common to feel hungry? I have lost 7 kilos already!

Hope you are well!

cheers

Alicia

Welcome and good luck on your journey. There was a thread posted a few days ago listing the various thoughts and hurdles to face in the upcoming months. See if you can find it, it lists different phases like, hunger, what have I done, etc.

Hi

I am a new member. I have not had the band, however am seriously considering it and just wanted to look at the website to see what peoples reactions have been. All great. Am unsure what to do next. Did you visit different surgeons or go on recommendations. Am in the UK. I have ordered a few brochures today to have a look. Any tips for me

I was banded on 12/28, so I'm more recent post-op. I haven't weighed myself, but I'll make my 3 weeks out appointment tomorrow for a couple more weeks and weigh in there. Congrats on your weight loss. What I've learned from everyone here is that we're all different and what works for me may not work for others. I was hungry on day 3 but have stuck to the liquids as required by my doctor's diet. I enjoy reading everyone's experiences because I know I'm not alone. Good luck healing and welcome to LBT!

      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.
