October 2006 Bandsters!



Recommended Posts

Hello all you October Bandsters. I was banded on Oct. 5th in Mexico, but Dr. Rumbaut. I have lost 10 lbs, but I am having lots of problems with gas. I have heard this is normal, I hope so. I seems that it is stuck in my stomach and won't move anywhere. Good luck to everyone!!!

You can get the bullet things at department stores like Kohls. Or they have a bunch of them on eBay. I don't have one yet, but that is what I have read on another chat board.

Pain in the shoulder is a referred pain. It is a result of the incision in the upper abdomen. Pain in the left arm during a heart attack is a result of the same process.

Congrats to all of the people newly " on the bandwagon". It is so great that you all check in and update us on your progress and experiences. Very valuable info for all of us who will be "with the band" soon. Ok, enough puns:)

Does anyone have a track of what state all of us Oct bandsters are from. I think it would be fun to maybe have a little local reunion some time down the road with the people who have gone through the same thing and live fairly close. Mabye a 1 yr reunion????

Also, Aza, good luck on the ride home. I too am not telling anyone except my hubby and one friend. I just don't want to have the discussion right now. It is hard to keep it to myself though. I have to tell a bunch of "white lies";)

      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? 🤷‍♀️
