7/16 Surg date-Today is the day



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

Today is the day and I am both excited and a little nervous. The being put to sleep part is the part I am nervous about. The excitedness is from being able to start my new life today. I can not wait. Wish me luck and I will keep you up to date on my progress. Good luck to all you fellow banders that will be getting your surgery today. :whoo:

I was also banded on 7/16. It is only 2 days after surgery and am still a little tired. Let me know how things went with you.

Hey Lucky 7's I was finally banded yesterday 7/17!! The only pain I'm having is when I get up from a sitting position or from laying down. I'm wondering since I like to sleep on my stomach and side, how long will I be able to go back to my sleeping position. LAst night was a miserable one, I did manage to sleep on my side, but turning from one side to another was tough!!

      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.

      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?

      April Surgery
      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! 😞
