Hi everybody I'm home and banded today at 1:30pm pst. They released me to home at 7pm. The surgeon also repaired a hiatal hernia at the same time. I didn't released earlier because the surgeon was in surgery and no other doctor would release me. The pain I'm experiencing is under the breast bone and its the hernia that was repaired. Very little gas pain so far. Sitting with a heating pad for a bit before I try and sleep some.

Cheers! I'm on the other side now. Hooray and thanks to all for your concerns.

Richard :)

For me, I expected alot worse pain and aches. Guess I'm lucky or can tolerate pain better. Walking is the secret in this, gets your gas to disapate out of your body, walking will circulate blood flow to all recovering areas with oxygen for a speedy

recovery. SIP SIP SIP fluids all day, it will help give your new pouch and stomach a feeling that there is food so when you do eat food, you wont have any discomfort. Your stomach will learn quickly. Cheers

I go back to work on Thursday Aug 16. I had a long off time to adjust to the band and eating liquids/shakes/yogurt. I see my surgeon on Aug 21 and thats when I can eat some foods rather than liquids. My healing is almost completed. Ive been walking more and more getting use to exercise again. It doesn't seen like it was a week ago when I was banded,Aug 6.

Be positive and keep the faith.

      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!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
