the Band was horrible did ur insurance approve of it

I am lucky to live in Australia and we don't have the same process here. As long as we have private health insurance and find a surgeon willing to carry out the surgery it is all good. I had my band for 5 years and had a bmi of 23 ...... until the little band decided to get a mind of its own and start playing up. I knew there was something wrong and am so glad that I went with my gut feeling and had all of the fill removed in January and then the band removed in April. Will be happy to fit back in my clothes again!!!

I did it yesterday! I feel great, yesterday no pain at all, today just a little sore at the spot they pulled the stomach out. Tolerating liquids...so far so good. A lot easier than I anticipated. Yay me!

I have read all different responses to "what do you bring to the hospital" question, but want to see if there are any post op sleevers that have some suggestions??

June 11 is coming fast and furious!

I packed lite but needed even less.

What I used. A robe for floor walks, to cover my nekkid behind. And slippers.

My iPOD, I listened to hours & hours of music

My phone so that wife & I could stay in touch

What I DID NOT use. Laptop, extra clothes, even undies... They wanted us all au-naturale.

Took a long time for me to pee. Was very 'dry'. They finally gave me so much Fluid by IV that I started...

DID NOT have a BM for 5 days, and when the 'damn broke' had 1 & 1/2 days of watery diarrhea. That was no fun.

NOW, a week and a day after surgery, Never had ANY nausea or vomiting. Discomfort long gone. Still very tired and nap 1 or 2 times a day. Can get in all liquids, can get in most of Proteins.< /p>

HAVE NOT lost weight and was told not to expect to in the first week or so. I ain't worried! Follow the program and the weight will slide off!

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
