Congrats on being banded! I had mine done yesterday and was in a lot of pain when I woke up. Today is better but getting up is tough.

I may just be still under the meds a little and I expect tomorrow I may be more sore, but I was thrilled to have come out of anesthesia with out feeling ill and to finally get something to drink :)

I wish for you a speedy recovery !!

Everything was really smooth, I'm alert and not near as much pain as I expected. Anyone coming up on band date, don't be frightend ......it was so much better that I thought it would be !

Congrats! Keep us posted.

We are band twins lol...I got banded this morning around 10am and was home by 2pm....

I was dizzy after I woke up, but so far no pain, just gas bothering me in my stomach area now....earlier mild discomfort around shoulder, but now it's mostly in my abdomen. Been walking and taking gas=X religiously to help.

But happy it's over with, good luck to you too...we can go through our progress together, lets keep each other updated.

I'm with y'all. I was banded yesterday late morning. I did wake up from anesthesia in a lot of pain, but my nurse was right there helping me with pain meds. Then I started dry heaving and she gave me a shot of Zofran.

It's so wonderful to know you're not alone. We all have one another and the veteran Bandsters.

      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.

      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! 😞
