I'm having the Band over Bypass surgery and very excited and nervous...my job this week and next is to stop reading stuff on the net. Making me have a bit of cold feet.

Welcome NewMe, I feel this is the best decision I've made to get healthy. I've been banded for about 3 weeks, and I only wish I'd done it sooner. Congrats on your decision and Best Wishes to successful banding, weight loss and better health. :)

Gastro, Congrats to you on your decision. Why be nervous, you had Gastric Bypass already, you can do this! Take the professional advice of your doctor, and address your concerns to him or her, that's where your best advice will come from. Best wishes to you, and keep us updated on how you're doing.

Hi Newme

I had my band just over 2 weeks ago. I am so glad I have had it. I feel it will be life changing. Being in control for once and hopefully losing weight and not putting it back on ! like I have done a million times.

I am feeling so much better already and am at a weight that I haven't seen in years.

Good Luck in your journey :) x

      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? 🤷‍♀️
