Anyone Getting Banded In September?



Recommended Posts

As previously said... my computer freezes EVERY time I try... the app isn't conducive to pasting the list. I apologize. I have it updated.... I just can't post it. If someone wants to hijack it & run feel free.

I just got banded the 7th of sept and was not ready for the post op pain! I thought it was like day surgery and recovery would be quick, today is day 2 after surgery and I was able to go walking at the park to try and ease the gas pains, gas x strips and Protein shakes!!! I guess no pain no gain!! I just have to remember in doing this for me!!!!!! I'll get there!!!

I'm new but I'm scheduled for september 21st.... I'm on day 3 of pre op diet and lost 9 lb already! I'm so glad there is a forum .. Its nice having people to talk to that are going through the same thing!

I am also scheduled for the 21st, so nervous about it but can't wait! My doctor has not put me on a liquid diet at all, not sure why.

I am an official bandster! Got banded this morning a little after 7am. Feeling pretty good just a little sore and no gas pain. I even went for a trip to my home away from home...Walmart! I will post my experience on the post lap band sight under experiences.

Good luck to everyone who has yet to be banded and to the rest of you' date=' I am proud to call myself an official bandster![/quote']

      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? 🤷‍♀️
