Anyone Being Banded in November???



Recommended Posts

I think I will be a November bandster as well. Tomorrow I complete the pre op orientation meeting and this Friday I attend another educational meeting.

I see the surgeon on October 8, so I am very close to getting banded. I need an upper GI, blood work, and stool sample completed, but have to wait until the surgeon orders those tests. So I am thinking, I will get a sugery date for November. It will be the best Christmas gift I ever give myself (the gift of health). :cry_smile:

Lcubed, I'm tenatively scheduled for November 10th also. It was the 3rd of November, but moved to the 10th. If all heals ( please see my previous posts ) I will finally be an official bandster! My healing has been slow, but I am improving. Let's hope after November 10th we can swap surgery stories!

No longer a November bandster. :thumbup: I'm not all healed up yet, so my surgery was rescheduled for January. I'm kinda bummed today, afterall today was to be my surgery day. I know my time will come, I'm healing more and more every day. It has been what seems like forever, but it's only about the size of a quarter now. Please continue to pray for my healing and I too, shall pray for all of you that your surgeries go well and that you all are great successes!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
