Hi, and welcome. Come join the May 2007 bandsters group. We've all had the surgery (or will have it) in May!

Hi and welcome! Wow, probably by this time tomorrow you will be an official bandster, congratulations! Make sure you take it easy afterwards and let everyone wait on you. Remember, this is considered major surgery and you need to rest and heal. Don't forget, the first six weeks or so are for healing, not dieting. You probably won't see significant weight loss until after you get your first couple of fills.

Good luck tomorrow. As soon as you feel up to it, check in and let us know how everything went. We will be thinking about you!

Everything went great yesterday and I feel really well today! I got out last night and I'm thrilled to be recovering at home!

I found some very yummy high protien liquid recipes and I and I'm love with sugar free popsicles!

Banded x 24hours and going strong!

I have weird leg cramps though. Any else had something of the like? I was told to walk a lot right away, but maybe I over did it?

I am predisposed to flipping out over stuff like this, is this typical.. <--- that would be aimed at the old pros...

Feeling better now, called the Dr. and they have not called me back. But I think it's all good now. No really bad signs of blood clots or anything. I am actually a medical professional myself, but my expertise is pregnancy so I'm trying to not diagnose myself as I am not qualified! lol:)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
