Had my surgery Friday 04/27/07 and I feel preety good except my throat still hurts and some pressure on my chest. My doc had to repair a H. Hernia so Im not sure if thats why I have so much discomfort in my chest or not. I will be glad when this part is over but I am so ready to start my weight loss journey.

Thanks for all your posts it really helps to read them.:faint:

Hi Janell,

I just saw your post and I was banded the same day. I'm just now starting to feel great. My doctor does some extra stiches to prevent hernia's so I think that is why I had so much pain. I went back to work last Thursday but wish I could have had all last week off. I've only told 3 people at work so I didn't want too many people to notice me being gone.

How do you feel now? Are you back at work? I'm still on a clear liquid diet and 3 30 gram Protein shakes a day and have to do that for 4 weeks after surgery so I still have about 2 1/2 weeks left - ugh!

Congrats on being banded!! :)

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
