Greatest Moments In Banded History...



Recommended Posts

I LOVE LBT!! All of you bandsters are so fabulous! You guys and gals encourage me so much and I am so glad I found this site. I love reading your updates and viewing your amazing progress photos! But sometimes, I know there are wonderful stories behind the photos! If you feel so inclined, I'd like for you guys to share some of your greatest moments in banded history. :D It could be anything; funny, scary, a learning experience or even a great "look at me now" story about an ex or someone you haven't seen in a long time.

I love to read...so no matter how long or short the story, I want it! So please...share away!

Look forward to reading from you soon! ;)

Thanks in advance for sharing!

I am 2 1/2 weeks post op and so far so good. The gas pains are gone and I feel good. I still have moments when I still second guess my decision to be banded. It is a process to get used to but each day gets better. I luckily have not had any problems with food getting stuck. My band was filled with 4.5 mLs during surgery and my band holds 10 mLs. I can drink liquids with ease. I am worried about getting a fill. I may choose not to get one for right now. I am comfortable with the amount of food I can eat, I feel satisfied, and reading some of the posts about fills make it seen unpleasant. I am down 25lbs now and still losing!

Thank you for sharing! I've heard that a lot of the doubt in the beginning comes from the fact that it's still so new..you can't really see any change and the surgery just mentally does something to you. But if you hang in there!! I've heard it from so many people that this is the best decision they've made in their life! I think, like anything, you have to do what works for you. And if you're ok w/no fills right now ..then stick to that. As long as you are seeing the kind of progress you can be happy with!

All the best on your journey!

Thank you for sharing! So funny, I was just reading a forum yesterday on gas and how loud and annoying it can be.. but most everyone just says you'll get used to it after a while. I am glad your pains have subsided! I hope you get to your goal with no problem!

All the best on your journey!

Please keep me posted!

But that's another time.. This one is good news.

I found this Thread after I Posted a new Thread. But it's strange that what I have posted,,,, That's what you are looking for.

Great minds think alike !

      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.
