Banded This Morning



Recommended Posts

I had my procedure (done laproscopically and outpatient) this morning. Arrived ay 7:30 am, prepped and in operating room by 8:30 AM.

I woke up in recovery at 10 AM, and was on my way home by 11:00AM.

I can walk (with ease) - am a little sore at the incision sight, but nothing awful. My throat is a little sore from the anesthesia tube, but that is the worst of it. I do have minor gas pain in my upper shoulder. Dr had to repair a hernia while he was in there.

I've responded to emails for work, napped a little, and have daydreamed of the changes to come for me.

I have been on liquids for past 3 weeks to drop pre-surgery weight - it was only really challenging on Thanksgiving, but I know will be worth it.

I'm on my way..and should have considered this years ago.

Starting weight 201.5, Day of Surgery 192... Goal 150 (or south)...

Dont be afraid...

That is such good news and sort of a relief to me. I have heard the horror stories about the gas pains. I think I am scared of that the most! Thanks so much for sharing.

      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.
