I'm banded. The worst part so far was the nausea from the anesthesia. And discomfort from the surgery. I'm sure ill heal all in good time. Thanks for the support.

You will be just fine, I agree with everything everyone has said! Everyone's journey is different, you have to find your own route! I am 5 weeks banded, had my first fill 3 days ago and am loving it! I had restriction before I even had my fill, which was great because it gave me the opportunity to get used to my new Portion Control life. I had one stuck incident which was my own fault( eating to fast) and learned real fast from that oops! To me it is all about how bad you want this to work, I'm so tired of failure over the years that I have convinced myself this is my LAST chance! So just follow the advice from your doctor, and listen to your tummy , it will tell you how much, when , what and what not to eat! You can do this and with all the support this place has to offer from newbies to expert banders, you have got it made! Good luck

I was a bit sore for just a couple days, lots of bruises but nothing that wasn't anything more than just a little tender in spots.

Everything that was sore calmed within the first week, however, the port area (not the incision) is still sore but finally getting better. Not sure one has anything to do with the other, but I carry my weight more at my hips and below as opposed to my stomach area. Even with the soreness hanging on, I'm still happy I did it! NO REGRETS!! Enjoy the journey!!!

Hi Shelly!

Congrats on getting through the first few days! I am 8 days post op and my port area is still sore. I mostly notice it in the morning after waking from lying flat and then getting up. Once I move around the soreness lessens. Believe it or not you will get use to it and learn how to move your body so the soreness doesn't bother you. For me, things like sitting up straight and walking help. Bending hurts, so I do a lot of squatting when picking things up. I started mushy foods yesterday and I am so happy! I am feeling even more confident about my decision everyday, with or without the soreness. But I agree with everyone, it is such a small price to pay knowing the outcome is better health!

Yes, the soreness will go away gradually as will the bruising and eventually the scarring. Start practicing really hart on putting your spoon down between bites and taking small bites so you will be ready when you get real food

      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.
