Got banded Thurs with 2 hernia repairs. I have had a boob lift, hip surgery,2 c-sec,2 carpal tunnel surgeries and this was by far the worst. I didn't realize in laparoscopic they filled you with air,worst gas pain ever. Could not even breathe day 1. Nurse said it was worse because of the umbilical repair but damn.....i fully expected to be working on my Christmas decorations this weekend,im not. Hope everyone else has had a better go of it

Hi there and congratulations! I'll be two weeks out on Tuesday and I'm really feeling like myself again. Well, my new self! Actually I'm feeling great. Hope you're able to get lots of rest and walking in -- I'm pretty sure that's the secret to success. Best wishes to you!

Hi, I am getting banded 11/19

Congratulations -- coming right up! Wishing you smooth sailing and a speedy recovery. For me it was much easier than I thought it would be. I started walking right away (had an overnight stay in the hospital) -- the walking is really important. I had a prescription filled for pain medication but didn't use it -- did fine on Tylenol and Ibuprofen. There is discomfort -- all those belly incisions -- but they heal up quick. Laparoscopy is a marvelous invention. The walking helps with the lung capacity following the anesthesia and moving any trapped gas. And Popsicles, yum! Will be thinking of you on Tuesday. That's my two-week anniversary so we'll be on our weight loss journey together. Best wishes!

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
