Howdy folks…Well it’s done. I was banded yesterday afternoon at 2:30 PM and was home at 1:30 PM today; my doctors require an overnight stay and I had no problem with that especially since I had the self serve Morphine drip. I am sure my pain would be considerable worse if no for the drugs but all in all I feel pretty well. I was up walking before bed last night and a few times today. I took a nice two and a half hour nap this afternoon and plan on lying low, except for walking, for the next couple of days. I’m not proud; if it hurts I will take the drugs! I wish everyone the best and now the hard work starts….:thumbup:

Congrats Greg!!!

Hope the pain meds work for you. All the good meds out there make me dizzy so I was stuck with plain ol Tylenol and that didn't help a bit. As a matter of fact, I'm still in pain right over my port area. Good luck Greg. Hope you lose tons and tons of weight... Keep walking, deep breathing and make sure you drink enough...

Congrats to being banded!!! I hope you feel better soon and please take some meds if you are in pain. It is one thing to be sore, but don't be miserable if you can help it. Good job with starting the walking.

      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.

      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! 😞
