Any Low Bmi Getting Banded In November?



Recommended Posts

Hi all, I am getting banded on November 26th. This was a very big decision for me and I am so excited that my surgery date is just around the corner. I have been yo-yo dieting for years and as I get older it has just been harder and headset to keep the weight off. It has been so great hearing everyone's experiences and I saw some other low BMI bandsters from back in July and August. Would love to hear back from anyone as to how you are doing after these past few months and if there is any newbies out there about to go through this with me. :). Best wishes everyone!

I wasn't a low BMI bandster when I started. But I am now. ;). And it's my opinion the band is doing exactly what I expected it to do once I got to goal.... Keep the weight off. Granted I need to be smart with when And how often i splurge but so far it's working fine. I would think I it will work for you too, good luck,

Congratulations FLORIDAYS on being a low BMI bandster!! When did you get banded? Have you reached your goal weight now and just trying to maintain? I know everyone is different but just curious on how many times you had to fill/unfill to be comfortable. And once a goal weight is reached how to maintain. Thanks for the feedback. It's so encouraging hearing your success. Though I know it's not an easy road but you prove it can be done. :). Congrats again! What an accomplishment.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
