I just got banded yesterday. It went very smooth (praise God!). I love my Dr. He is really good. I had the lapband with imbrication or i band is what they are calling it.

In a little pain. Would like to cough but it hurts.

I am loving the feeling of not being hungry. I just had my first Protein Shake and could not even drink the whole thing. I have a full feeling.

As a person who has been 'hungry' all of her life, this is a completely unique experience. and one I am so thankful for.

I look forward to the days ahead. My new life began yesterday.

Band buddies! I was also banded on the 15th. My post op visit is on Monday and I'm hoping for a fill, because I have minimal restriction.

How are y'all doing after two weeks?

Apea,

You will most likely not get a fill unless your dr doesn't want you to heal. The normal time period for a fill is 6 weeks post-op. You need to heal first.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
