Finally got banded on Friday, now a bit sore, but back at home. So pleased I read about the wind pains here before I went otherwise woud have been very upset; but was prepared for it so not to bad. Got hiccups yesterday - bl**dy horrendous!

So, heres to the next 4-6weeks of liquids, cant help feeling a little excited at the prospect of finally losing weight, slowly and in a controlled way.

:tongue2:

Thanks Ann, Prof. Larvin did it - what a lovely man. I dont feel any restriction at all - which I understand is right, but Im a bit surprized the burping :tongue2: doesnt seem to be subsiding yet - and seems to be worse after having a drink of water! Anyone else felt this?

Hello Ally,

Glad to hear your operation went well. Yes, Prof. Larvin is a great man. Now you can look forward to your weight loss journey really beginning.

I felt sore for a few days after my operation, but it soon goes. Just try to be patient. You may find that you lose quite a bit of weight quickly, but that slows down.

Did you meet the wonderful Kay Cresswell and Lisa Rickers during your stay? They have been so much help to me during my weight loss.

I did meet Lisa Rickers, she was the lovley nurse who I & the other lady who was also banded at the same time had a chat to, very helpful and informative. Im just a bit surprized that 3 days later Im still burping and have gassy pain, but it is getting less and less with each day. Im trying to walk around and move as much as possible, so that should help. :)

I'm 3 weeks post op and still have the gas pain, ive read it can last a number of weeks, I dont have the burping, mines more of a loud hiccup that i have no control over, i can feel it brewing then out it comes!! Im suprised the swelling hasnt given you any restriction as i am still very restricted.

good luck and welcome to the club!

Kerri

      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?

      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
