NEWLY BANDED 9/13/13!



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone! I was just banded yesterday 09/13/13! Im so happy and excited about my new future. I must say that this website has been a god sent for me because i went into surgery knowing what to expect due to everyone's previous posts! I have to admit that I was very very scared because id never been under before. They did have a problem getting my iv in, but after that everything was ok. After the surgery, I was on a cpap machine because i have severe sleep apnea which i found out the night before my surgery at my sleep study. Yes I said the night before! lol My surgeon ordered it at the last minute. At first i was angry but im glad that i did it. The shoulder and chest pain were pretty bad at first because of the hernia repair and the gas x and walking have been a great help as well. I did have horrible leg cramps afterwards but the nurse gave me a muscle relaxer via iv which worked immediately thank god!!Im now ready to see what the future holds! :rolleyes:

Contrats to all of you new banders. I'm 4 months out and have lost 43 lbs. I have only had one fill and will get my 2nd one week after next. I'm excited to finally get some restriction, hopefully. Just remember right now is not about losing weight, but healing. Drink plenty to keep from getting dehydrated and keep your Protein up. It'll pass pretty fast.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
