Hello All Bandsters ,

I am getting banded Sept 25th in Tijuana MX with Dr Gonzalez ! I am soo excited but kind of worried at the same time -- I'm worried that I wont be able to keep with the diets == And I'm worried what my body is going to look like when I do lose the weight !!

Stacy73 I am also getting banded on sept. 5th. I cant wait!!! I am on day 5 of the liquid diet and boy is it a struggle. I cheated a little bit last night but i felt so guilty that i am back on track for the next 9 days. How are you feeling? Do you have to do the pre-op diet too?

Congrats! I am excited as well, I know it will be a good thing! I am also worried as well about having to have "reconstructive surgery" after I lose all the weight, :nervous It started stressing me so I just have to realize that if I have to do something later than I'll have to, but anything is better than being overweight! At least you can hide stretched out skin! :) Good luck!~

Hi All,

I’ve been checking in on you regularly, but haven’t posted for fear of jinxing myself. I’ve been working on getting a September date. I’m almost through all of the hoops. My doctor’s office is also working to make it happen by the end of September. Hopefully this time next month, I’ll be banded.

I’m looking forward to getting to know you.

I am 9 days into the liquid diet and my surgery is Tuesday the 4th. I am doing welll, after the first 3 days it gets easier. You can only eat so many no sugar added popsicles. I had my post op today with the doctor, fast no problems. Then went to register at the hospital & that tooks a couple hours, drawing blood, had an EKG & a chest x-ray. I have to be there 7:30 tuesday morning & will be banded at 9:30 AM.

I will let you know how things went on wednesday. Anyone out there 3 or 4 days out of being banded, let me know what to expect.

Thanks

P:clap2:

      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! 😞

        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... :(
