For Those Already Banded..vacation?



Recommended Posts

Hi, I'm being banded February 15th! Me and my husband's anniversary is about a month 1/2 later and we were hoping to plan a getaway..but I'm wondering if I'll be ready for that..I was hoping we could go to Disney World but I'm wondering if it would be safe to ride the rides and be doing that much walking that early out and get all jolted around? If not Disney World, maybe Jamaica or Myrtle Beach...but also not sure about being banded and if airplane rides have any effects on each other..

I'm seeing my Surgeon one last time before surgery next Tuesday so I'm going to ask him about all this but wanted to get advice/opinions from y'all also! Thanks..

I see a problem at all with going to Disney World, and walking, and riding the rides.

I would ask about the plane though, he might hold of on any fills in the band.

I went to Disney approximately 4 weeks after surgery and I didn't have any problems at all.

I just got back from vacation in FL. 2 1/2 months after surgery and a week after my second fill. No issue flying. My doctor suggested liquids only on the day you fly. But since I did not experience any issues, I did eat dinner. And on the way home, I sorta forgot the suggestion.

The best thing was I had so much more energy this time. No Disney this time, but I was able to keep up with my husband and do everything I wanted to do.

Have fun.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
