When are you being banded?



Recommended Posts

Hello fellow UKers! Just wondered if there is anyone that is been banded in the near future from the UK or are you thinking about it?

I know Sirusman is being done this week and I'm scheduled for the 8th October, just wondered if anyone else is out there and getting nervous. If you are and you're only lurking - get an account and come on this thread, let us know you're out there.

FT :(

Hello everyone,

I'm tonight's new person. I'm being banded on Friday 12 October by Mr John Rogers at The Princess Grace Hospital in London. I can't wait to get things started. The operation doesn't worry me at all. I know that I've got to make a lot of effort to make this work 'cos I have soooooo much to willingly lose.

I was banded on 7th October in London. It was a difficult decision but even though I am sore , I feel amazingly well and now bored stuck at home. I am 100% sure this was the right way to go , but unlike normal weight-loss routes there is no club to go to, no-one to talk to , so I am on here gathering as much info a possible because I am not sure what is normal and what is something I need to worry about.

      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.

      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!!
