Hi,

I will be banded this friday, and I am so nervous!!!!!!!!! I am a nurse, and have been in the OR thousands of times, but never as the patient. Maybe nervous isn't the right word, I am scared. Your definately not alone in being nervous. I'll let you know how it goes. Hopefully once I check in I will be calmer.

To those of you just getting ready to be banded I'm going to share my experience and hope you have the same: I had surgery at 12:30 p.m. and was home by 5:00 p.m. Slept like a baby on the meds they gave me at the clinic. The next day I was fine, no gas pain, or shoulder pain, so I took some of the Demerol just for fun! I'm back at work--life is good.

Hi and congrats on your upcoming banding! I was just banded 1 week ago. I am also a nurse. I think it makes it all the harder because we know what exactly happens. I am sure that everything will be fine. Best of luck to you!! Feel free to ask me (or anyone) anything you need to help alleviate your nervousness. I'll be thinking about you- Gigi:)

Congrats on your upcoming surgery. I was just banded a week ago. I also had to follow a pre-op diet. It was hard, but I was so ready and I did lose about 16lbs in the 2 weeks. I haven't weighed in since the morning of my surgery. Best of luck to you! Keep us posted-Gigi:)

      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.
