I am going in for my band tomorrow at at 8 am. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh:omg: .

I am so nervous, and excited. I am of course nervous for the possibility of death:eek: . More so scared about the pain of recovery :sick . Truth be told I can't believe this day has come. I have been on this board for a long time and learned so much from everyone. I truly am shocked it is time:faint: . I have no idea how I am going to handle all of this. As the time draws closer all I think about is change. I know great changes will come but I am scared. Love you all and wish me luck. I will take anything prayers, chants, rain dance, white light, traffic lights, anything. Thanks all. hugs ;)

Good luck, hon. MsJoy says that her post op pain, on a scale of 1 to 10 was about a 1.5. She never even opened her bottle of pain medicine. Just follow the doctor's instructions to the tee and heal. Don't worry about losing right now. Well....you know all the right things to do, so do them.

You'll do fabulous and then in a couple of weeks you can tell me what to expect. Just take it easy and don't try to over do anything. This is your healing time, so take it.

You'll be in my prayers and let us know how your feeling when you can.

You say your more scared about pain & recovery. That is great b/c I bet you have very little or none at all. You're probably all done right now & talking up a storm saying " wow that was great & I feel a little worn for wear but not bad at all. Did they really do anything to me? Am I really banded?"

Hope your up & about quickly- walk walk walk walk & yeah by the way WALK!! CONGRATS!!!!

I agree - in a couple of weeks, you'll can tell me what to expect, too. I'm 28 days pre-op. I'll be thinking of you tomorrow morning. I'm sure it will be just fine. Sending prayers and hugs.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
