Today Is The Day For Me - Getting My Lap Band Surgery!



Recommended Posts

I'm pretty excited this morning and only a teeny bit nervous. Sort of feels like I'm standing on the edge of a high cliff contemplating jumping off to fly or sticking to the ground that I know so well. But let me tell you, I want to FLY!

I just wanted to pop by here and tell those of you who are currently jumping through the insurance hoops to be strong. Stay on your path because you CAN make it, as frustrating as it may be at times. Find a Surgeon's office with a GREAT staff and they will help you along the way and make it so much easier for you. The staff at Dr Schmitt's office helped me SO much with getting all the paperwork and testing done.

See y'all on the other side!

Good for you! Don't forget your PJs and slippers, hospital gowns are pretty revealing.

Things went just fine, other than a delay in time. Evidently the first surgery of the day had some complications. But I came through it perfectly fine.

Thanks all for your words of encouragement. I wrote out a detailed 'report' of sorts on my blog if you would like to read.

Glad to hear that things went well. I too was banded on the 22nd and things have gone well. I am in some discomfort and this is why I am awake at 3am. Now the slow transition to regular food begins.

Good luck to you and a speedy recovery.

Welcome to the bandster family. Take it easy, walk as you can, and follow your post-op instructions. Heating pad on the shoulder helps with the gas pain. You should be feeling pretty good in a week.

      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.
