I am now banded (3rd June) i have 5 wounds but only 1 is giving me pain, it also bled a little last night but seems fine today, going to keep my eye on in. I was glued back together which i.o not too keen on.

I have drank peppermint tea, had warm bags on my chest and try and walk around a little to get shed of the gas pain, it.s slowly going :)

Not looking forward to injecting myself today but it.s got to be done :s

Is it the blood thinner shot in the belly? It's not bad at all and I hate needles. When I had knee replacement my daughter did them for me they are quick and easy.

I was banded on the 4th as well and my pain originates at the main incision site. Luckily I have no gas pain.

Good Morning June Bandsters!

I just got confirmation from the Dr's office and my Renaissance Day is June 19th! :wub:

I go for pre-op with the Dr. on Thursday this week, and then at the hospital on Monday the 11th. I'm excited and kinda nervous. For those of you already banded, what has been your down time from work?

This is my first post. I start my pre opp diet on saturday, and my surgery is on june 29 in toronto, canada. I am exicted and nerves all in one but i know i can do it with the help of my husband and my family. I have to do a pre opp diet for three weeks. i have three Protein Shakes a day and low calarie veggies. I was told it is to try to get ride of up to 25% of fat in your liver to make the surgery safer.

Blackleopard, do you live in the Toronto area or are you flying down? Where are you be being banded. Sorry about the 20 questions, I'm just excited to see someone getting banded in Toronto. I am being banded June 22nd at Slimband.

My liquid diet is only for two days as well. It may be for lower BMI's? I'm not sure though...possibly Doctor's preference. But my liquid diet after surgery is for 2 weeks. My surgery is on the 7th!!

Sometimes nervous is good. It's good energy. Look at it this way, tomorrow is your "birth"day. You get a chance to start over and do it right this time. Good Luck and Congrats!

The more you are able to move, the quicker the soreness will go away. My surgery is June 13th so I will be joining the ranks soon!

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
