Anyone Getting Banded In September?



Recommended Posts

I had a family member who got that done. she lost over a hundred pounds within a yr. the only problem she had was eating right. it was hard for her to eat at all and it took alot of tries to finally be healthy. she also lost some hair do to lack of nutritious foods. keep positive and think long term...

Thanks for the reply I chose the bypass as there is a scheme I could resort to my old ways my surgeon said that I could put weight back on if im not careful plus I didn't want to have to keep going back to hospital to have the band tightened etc I will see how I get on with it though

I'm finally scheduled for banding Sept. 21st. Had to wait over a month for insurance to be satisfied with my prerequisites, then had to find a time when my surgeon could get the surgical suite at the local med center. So...now I'm just biding my time and counting down the days.

I'm getting banded in September...Can't wait to look and feel better, but definitely nervous about the procedure and immediately post op! Sounds like more pain than I was expecting! I was thinking it would be like gall bladder surgery...anyone can compare that for me?

      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?

      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
