I wish you well. I will tell you like another helpful poster told me: you will feel like you just went asleep and woke up banded! It's so true! It wasn't as bad as I thought. I was not all that sore. My worst part was the gas/ (shoulder mostly) pain. It will be worth it.

I was banded 02/29 and all is going well. My clothes are loose and I have gotten into some that WERE too tight!

Said a prayer for you!

Wanted to let everyone know surgery went well. It was exactly like I fell asleep and woke up banded. More pain in recovery than I expected due to the trapped air. Good news is its already starting to resolve and I am still sore but I can tell that is getting better as well. The doctor said he had to repair a small hernia also so that may be the cause of the added pain. I consider myself a strong person and Im just gonna take it one day at the time. Thanks everyone for your thoughts!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
