I was banded this morning and I'm home resting now! Feeling sore and tired but not NEARLY as bad as I thought I was going to feel! This is nothing compared to my c-sections...at least so far.

I'm a little hungry but not starving, so far so good! So happy to have made it to this point and so excited for what's to come!

I had mine done yesterday. And I thought it was much worse then I expected. But I have never had abdominal surgery before. I just told someone I don't know how women make it thru a c-section if I feel this bad after a little 2 inch cut. I still have no real appetite.

I don't have an appetite either which is awesome. My mouth is super dry so I'm just sipping on crystal light! And it will get better! The c sections were tough but seriously prepared me for this! Give it two days...every day you will move a little easier and sleep better. Good luck and keep your eye on the prize!

Hi, and welcome to band land...some lessons you will learn quick...others more slowly :-) ...but in the mean time ask any questions no matter how big or small ...I only had my band 3 weeks ago ....but there are good people on here and a lot of experience to share :-)

I had my surgery in may and it was alot worse than I expected and I've had several surgeries though none abdominal. Though I will admit tht my back was out at the time and it was hard to get around with both my new incisions and my bad back. It took me about 4 days to start feeling pretty good. No I cant tell I've had surgery.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
