4 Months Post Op - Pictures



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

I haven't been on in a long time. My surgery was June 26th. I did really well at first but then I felt like I didn't have a band. I could still eat pre band portions and I did!. Pre-band I was on here all the time and would read about Bandster Hell but truly didn't believe it would happen to me. Oh boy did it ever!! I encourage all you newbies to just fight through it. You will get your band to where it needs to be!!

I had my frist fill August 1st to 4cc's and still nothing which really threw me into the "Did I make ther right decision spiral". September 10th I had my 2nd fill to 7 cc's and the scale started moving again! I had my 3rd fill October 22nd to 8cc's and I am now down 43 pounds. I have gone from a size 28 pant to a size 22! I love my band! I hope everyone is doing well in their journey.

Hi Winkie,

You look awesome! Glad to have you back, your smile in your pictures is infectious! I am also losing slowly but surely and I couldn't be happier. I am losing more inches all around then big number changes on the scale but I am happy with it, and I know I'll get there and be all the better for having done it a little slower cause that's how I need to do it and keep it off.

Keep up the good work!! I hope to see even less of you soon!!! :D

Congratulations -- perseverance pays off! And of course four months can seem like forever but it's really nothing. Just one season. Thanks for the reminder that it can take time to get the band working right. You are doing beautifully! Yippee!

It's four months for me too. I have lost almost 40 pounds. I went from a size 14-16 to a size 10. I can even fit into size 8 stretchy jeans. Lol. Congratulations!

      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.
