hi lellow, so glad yours went well, did you have an incision very high up? as this is the one that is bruised. my port site is not hurting at all and i only had gas pains for aout half an hour 2 nights ago (in my stomach) the shoulder ones lasted about 2 days on and off. when did you weigh yourself? my next job after posting this is to update my ticker. do you feel virtually normal now, or not quite?

Has anyone had any trouble going up and down stairs after their surgery, that is one of biggest concerns. I just want to be prepared.

Yesterday I went to the hospital and pre-registered. It is real - the time is close. I had blood work EKG, Chest X-ray. Talk to my doctor and he said I was going to do great. I sure do have some wierd thoughts right now like regret or "what am I doing"!! but I will stay the course. My doctor put me on a 800 calorie diet high in Protein. With a big enphasis on sticking to Protein Shakes. I did eat some fish, and pudding but back to the protein shakes today. 5 more days. I have lost some weight but can't seem to change the ticker. This site has gotten quiet. I can tell the surgeries are starting. Hope all is doing well and can't wait to hear more from anyone who is just banded and how they feel and the experience they went through at the hospital. In detail would be great. Might make me quit worrying. :thumbup:

Oh yeah, I'm nervous.

Right after the pre-op visit and into the first weekend of the pre-op diet I worried if I had made a good choice. Now 6 days away from surgery, I know this is what I need to do, the worry is gone and now just excitement.

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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... :(
