Hello, my name is Connie I had the band (over my 13yrs ago bypass) on 2/27/13, I would really like to have someone to talk to on a daily basis if you are interested. I live in New Jersey. What are your questions?

Congratulations on getting banded :)

my surgery was on the 5th, I feel great but once in awhile my incisions sting a little and my port will feel tender, bruised or kinda sting, I believe this is totally normal even now for me 11 days out, but if your worried you can call your DR. thats what there for and, their used to answering questions, I called mine a few days ago :wub: . Good luck!

I was banded on the 11th also. My port incision is sore too. In fact, I still am considerably sore. I am glad I work from home because I would have never made it back to work on time.

Your port area will be sore for a while. Just take it easy. It bugged me for a month and then one day it just stopped and I could sleep on that side again. Its stitched into the muscle, so it will hurt until its not as irritated.

I was banded 3/25/13 by week four you won't feel your band at all. Right now slow your activity down your still healing on the inside.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
