Recommended Posts

Hi all , im rarely on here so I may not reply, but I was banded 2 yrs ago on dec 13, 2011 and it wasnt a problem to be banded just before christmas, I just stuck to my drs rules because I knew I would be happier with the weight loss than I would with all the food, ( hey, thats what got me overweight in the first place, so it was a no brainer ! Okay.....I did sneak 1 soft cookie !! Iwent from a size 18, 225 lbs ( with a goal of 140 lbs ) and by end of feb was down 19 lbs and my clothes were falling off of me !! I lost a total of 50 lbs by aug 1 andam now down to 159 and a size 10 ! Woohooo life s so good !!

I am getting super excited. My consult is tomorrow and my surgery is Thursday morning. I check in at the surgery center at the unholy hour of 5:45. If everything is on schedule my op should be about 6:30. I could be done and headed home by ten. :D

Hi Kelmet! My surgery is scheduled for next Tuesday. I will keep you posted how it goes. I too found the info and support from everyone on this forum to be so helpful and encouraging. I have been both nervous and excited about getting banded but the more I get feedback from everyone the more excited and motivated I get. I'm so ready for this. :)

I'm 8 days post op. The most important thing is make sure you follow your post op diet. It's not a fun diet but your doing it for a good reason. It helps your stomach, body and band acclimate to the new adjustment. Good luck and 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.
