Hey Becky, I have you on this list and on the main April 2005 Bandsters list. Look for some of the other folks getting banded on your day and see how they are doing, too! But don't worry, you will be fine and over it in no time. Perspective is everything, but if you weren't nervous, I'd be worried. What you are feeling is SO normal! Nervous one minute, excited the next, can't wait, dreading the day, back and forth...I personally got tired of being anxoius about it and just wanted it over with so I could quit doing that! Rest up and get all of your errands run so you won't have to worry when you get home. You won't need to be thinking about much else but you for a bit of time. You will be a bit distracted by the keeping up with what's going in and coming out and how you are healing and cleaning your incisions and all that jazz. It gets to be old hand pretty soon so don't fret.

Your getting banded!!! Wooohooooo!!! Congratulations!!!

Kathy thank you so much for those words....made me immediately feel better! I so know what you mean, I'm so ready for the day to be here. I woke up this morning and thought a week from today it'll be done and I'll be on the road to a new and better me! Thanks again all of y'all are so sweet on here and for that I am so grateful!

Hi Becky,

It is normal to be nervous, I was mental. It was a breeze. I am home, and sipping lots of Water. I sometimes add a tad of apple juice with the water, thats what I had in the hospital.

I was banded on Thursday morning, and was back home Thursday by 5:30 pm. I am looking forward to being able to shower on Sunday.

I used liquid Tylenol when I can home, just once, and haven't had pain meds since.

You will be fine, and we are here if you have any farther questions.

Congrats on being banded.....

HUGGS....Jorjet

Becky-

You will be in my prayers, it will be over with before you know it. I was banded on 4/13/05 and went home the same day. You will be a little sore and maybe a little gassy but just move around as much as possible and it will help. I also found sleeping in our recliner for the first couple of days to be alittle more comfortable. Good Luck and let us know how you are doing, this site is awsome, it will help you get through the liquid stages and beyond. Take Care!!!!

Hi all. I was also banded on Thurs. Water doesn't bother me at all so far. I had cream of wheat for Breakfast and just finished a root beer popsicle. Yum! I'm alittle sore but hope to go back to work on Mon. Good luck to all of you!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
