Hi Willow!

I had a band to sleeve revision. The band worked well for a short time, but then I kept getting obstructions and I'd have to start at square one. :(

Yes, I'm thrilled at how well I'm doing. :)

What are you going to have done? Best of luck to you! :)

Dubaiboy - Good luck tomorrow!! I'm sure you'll do wonderfully!! :)

Best to all,

Crash

I'm having a band, where I live WLS generally isn't covered by health insurance so I've to self pay so I really need this to work for me! You must be delighted to have it done, I'm finding the run up to surgery quite stressful so can't wait to have it over

I am a September Bandster as well..... Sept of 2009 that is. Not one band caused problem, and I'm 100 pounds lighter than I was 6 years ago.....and MUCH healthier!

Congrats to you all. It's the start to a new life!

Best wishes!

David

So its 4am here in Dubai. Doctor released me to go home after 6 hours post op. Had a decent night. I'm having soreness but am really worried about band slippage. There's no major pain just abdomen tension. Is this normal ? When do I need to rush and get it checked out?

They should have given you instructions prior to discharge. Rest, hydrate, follow whatever diet they gave you and walk as much and as often as you can.

Good luck!!!!

Better. Stomach abdomen pain is better but the left shoulder is killer. They said its normal due to the co2 that they will your stomach with during surgery.

GOOD LUCK! I was banded 9/11/15 and the only thing that I can complain about is... I got thrush from the antibiotic they gave me during surgery and the shoulder pain which I think is from the port. If you need to chat I'm here :)

Thank you and I hope that shoulder pain will be gone soon. That's probably just gas pains. Thrush problems , that can be resolved with clotrimazole cream or fluconazole tablet.

All the best @byebyefats .

      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.
