Hello all

I was banded on 12/4. Dr. Stitched my esophagus because he said it was too wide and hence why I had reflux. Dr. Also filled band 5cc. Has anyone else been filled at time of surgery?

Congrats Ruqui! I think you're the first one I've seen that got a fill on the day of surgery, but I'm sure it's been done before.

I used my Syntrax Cappuccino for the first time today (with almond milk). It was SOOOOO good! I let my 15 yr old son taste it because I wanted to make sure it really was as good as I thought & I wasn't just comparing it to the Fuzzy Navel, lol. He said he thought it tasted like a real Cappuccino. I'm not even a coffee drinker, but I really like the mocha flavor of this! If you are a coffee drinker, I can see people LOVING this flavor. Mixed well, but I always mix it, then let it sit in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes before I drink it. There was absolutely no powder taste nor was there any bad aftertaste.

I'm banded I went in this morning my surgery was at 10 am. I had some nausea issues so I had to stay a littler longer than planned. I never puked but thought I was going to a few times. I ended up leaving the hospital at 4 pm. It's been easy so far I have no pain my doctor doesn't give pain meds so if I start to hurt will take children's Motrin. I have some gas pain between my shoulders but if I walk it goes away. :)

Banded this morning at 7:30, about 12 hours ago now. Feeling pretty good but may be because of pain meds DURING surgery. No shoulder pain at all but I've been walking LOTS. Throat is sore and I've found that a SF throat lozenge helps. Belly and back are sore, like I've had a good workout and have been doing sit ups, so nothing unbearable. I have felt hungry for real food since 7 hours after surgery. Drank about 1 cup chicken broth 10 hours post surgery and did it over the course of an hour. I have been VERY groggy and sleepy all day. Wasnt fully awake and coherent until 10 hours post. My funny of the day: when my recovery nurse woke me up telling me to take a deep breath, I opened my eyes and said, "Am I skinny yet?" I was prescribed pain and anti-nausea meds and haven't needed either. SO happy I'm banded!

I have not felt hunger since surgery. Guess I am lucky so far.

      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?
