I had my Lapband put in Oct. 2005. Initially I lost between 50 and 60 pounds and eventually gained it all back. It really did me no good. Partially my fault too, not just the band. If it was "just a tool", I didn't think it was a very good tool. I am sittiting at my pre band weight. On March 23rd I will get the band removed and a VSG procedure done. I have been spending a lot of time online researching and reading. I am hoping to get helpful info here. I start my pre op diet this Tuesday.

My first question is: will I have to get a catheter put in? I have never had one and it seems like it would be painful.

Most folks don't require catheters, and if you did, they'd put it in after you were under anesthesia.

I had one with my RNY. They put it in while I was sedated. It was taken out the next day without any pain. Good luck!

Hi..I could have written this!

Scheduled for March 16th. And even during my lap band procedure, they put one in while I was under.

Good luck!

When I had the lap band done, the doc told me I didn't get a catheter, but, who knows, once you've gone under they can do what they want. When I had my band to sleeve revision they did put in a catheter, but, was done when I was under. I didn't have any after affects that I can recall.

      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.
