Welcome and congratulations to all the new banders. I had a really good run with mine, no real side effects so if you are feeling good then you should continue to do so (of course don't take my word for it).

TOTALLY NORMAL! Most of us have all the same fears about surgery. We know there is some risk and that's scares us, but lots of things in life and worth doing are scary.

March Forward! In 24 hours it will all be behind you!

Crystal, Remember your journey will start after the surgery, but it's not necessarily going to be a quick trip.

There will be the possible post op surgery pain/gas to deal with for the first few days, plus a restricted post op diet to follow and then the fill process. Fill, get tight, become loose, get another fill and repeat, until you hit your right spot.

Not trying to be a downer for you, but really want you mentally prepared. For me, being mentally prepared for the process has been very helpful.

Good Luck. Check in when your surgery is complete.

HI Tracey,

I had my band on Friday. I have lots of gas pain as well. I'm still unable to drink more than a teaspoon of Water at a time. However, the stomach muscle pain has gotten a lot less.

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
