I am officially Banded as of 12 noon on 11/12/14 ! So far so good! Pain is not as bad as I expected. Anesthesia placed a Regional Block in my abdominal fascia about 30 mins prior to surgery, I am an RN that works in PACU and had never seen this before, the actual block experience was a bit uncomfortable, but I'm assuming that it is responsible for my comfort, so it was wort it. But like all other regional anesthetics it doesn't rid me of feeling pressure and gas, which are not too bad. The more I move around the better I feel. Drinking pretty good, no nausea. Burped up some air a few times was both scary and relieving at the same time. Only problem so far is that the Norco I'm taking makes me restless instead of drowsy. I've only slept about 3 hours since I woke up in the recovery room at 1pm. Any who.... just so glad surgery and waiting is over. Thank you Lord God for a safe, uneventful procedure and recovery....

It was day surgery. Woke up in recovery at about 1:00, out the door at 3:45. Not bad at all. Got in my room about 2:00, layed down about 20 mins then just couldn't lay down any more, got up and got dressed started walking around and was ready to go home.

Welcome to the other side Kesha and Zoe. What an amazing journey you are both on. I wish I could give you a glimpse into the future so you can know how wonderful things will be a year from now.

I'm coming up to almost two years banded and I cannot believe how my life has changed. Things are not perfect...nothing in this world is perfect. But I've gone from morbidly obese and constant joint pain that was threatening to put me in a wheelchair to walking without a cane anymore, swimming, biking, dating, buying cute new clothes, feeling normal, fitting in a restaurant booth, an airplane seat, a chair with arms...I could go on and on.

I'm really excited for both of you...and all the newbies who are on this site. Congrats to all.

      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.
