Got my band yesterday



Recommended Posts

Well, I had my lap-band surgery. My surgery was with Dr Tarnoff at Tufts-New England Medical Center. I feel pretty good. My surgery was at 8:30 am and I got home around 5 pm. My belly is sore, feels like I ahve been punched about 200 times in the stomach.....I had some tea and broth before I left the hospital More broth when I got home. Today I had about 2 tbs of yogurt with my pain meds mixed in it and a sugar free popsicle and a little Water.

So far so good. I live about 15 miles south of Boston and we got 10 inches of snow last night, so I guess I will just hang in the house for today.

Patty,

WOOHOO! Congrats on becoming a newer leaner you. Dont forget to walk around your house today. Not only for the gas but also to clear out your lungs. That kicked in the gut thing only lasted a couple of days for me.

Feel better and keep us posted.

      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?

      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... :(
