I am scheduled for 24th!! Me and my mom are getting banded together, having surgery back to back... Good luck everyone!

How incredible you and your mom are doing this together!! My mom wants to do it but she really doesn't need it. She needs to get a few off but not as much as me. She is my #1 supporter and best friend and I think it's fab you both are doing this together!!

I was banded yesterday...Feb 1...am I the first to represent the February bandsters? Make sure you take a pillow for the drive home...it holds your stomach for the drive. I woke up and my shoulders were killing me...the pain killers helped. I thought I would escape the gas but I wasn't that lucky...it kicked in today unfortunately. Now just walking and using gas-x. I would be interested to hear from y'all about how many incision sites you have...I have 3 plus a long one about an inch long...I guess I won't ever be wearing a bikini - lol...

My surgery is next week, Feb. 8th. I had to go yesterday for another class with nurse and therapist and preadmission testing. I was there all day! Started the class at 11:00 for 2 hours then started the rest at 2:00. I didn't get home until 5:15. So I am ready to go, all my questions answered and know what to expect. I was surprised that they said not to expect much of a loss until you get your first fill 5-6 weeks later. From reading these posts it sounds like most do lose those first few weeks. It always amazes me how different the instructions are which each doctor. At this class there were four different surgeons represented, and the nurse had to give instructions depending on who you had. Mostly the same, but some things were different. It made me glad I chose the doctor that I did though!

P.S. Cyndie, They told us the only way to relieve the gas was by moving around and walking and that shoulders hurting was normal. Does the GasX work because she said this gas was not in the intestional tract? If it does, I'm buying some! :)

      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.
