Band removed -- Back and feeling good



Recommended Posts

Hi LBT family! I'm back from surgery and the news is that the band was removed. All in all, everything went VERY smoothly, and all my fears were alleviated.

Yesterday and this morning I'd worked myself up in to quite a state with all the what-ifs and could-go-wrongs, so it was such a relief to hear the doctors tell me that everything is just fine with me internally. The removal went smoothly, and I'll be back at work on Wednesday or Thursday.

In three or four weeks I'm going to follow up with the doctors, and at that time I'll start thinking about replacing it with the VG band. But one step at a time. For now I'm healing and drinking and being grateful for good friends (shout out to Alexra!!) and great doctors, and this support group which keeps me going.

Just another stop on the band journey. :biggrin1: :biggrin1: :biggrin1:

Alexandra, I am so glad that you are back home and that everything went smoothly. Were they able to remove it laparascopically? What is a VG band? I am so glad to here that you are okay internally - I am sure that it is a load off your mind. I have been watching for your post all day as I am sure everyone else is too! Feel Better Soon.

I missed this last night---I wondered about you throughout the day yesterday. What a relief for you to know that everything inside is as it should be. Take some time to heal, then you can decide on the next step. Glad you are ok!!!!

It's amazing how fast it all goes. I'm very glad to hear that everything went so smoothly, and you don't have any signs of complications - internal or otherwise! You may have already addressed this, but why the VG band?

      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.
