I was banded yesterday and doing well. I had my surgery at 8:30 am and I had to stay until I was feeling better. Well I got dizzy way too many times and wanted to vomit but I didnt they thought that the surgery dehydrated me which they found it had so they hydrated me .. six iv bags later with sodium chloride and I was much more stable to go home and no more dizziness or that feeling that I wanted to vomit. So finally at 8:30 p.m. I got to go home.. yeah .. Now today Im doing fine walking alot no gas pains other than what I call my normal gas pains.. have been burping and able to pass gas easily with no problem.. so Im doing well and hope everyone else who was banded yesterday is doing well too..

oh and they weighed me before surgery I have lost 14.5 lbs on my liquid diet..

Welcome to Bandsterland Jewel! Glad to hear you are doing well.

Just curious, did they not give you IV before surgery started?

Glad no gas pains (other than normal). Good for you keeping up the walking and all the pre-op lost! Have a good rest.

yes they sure did give me an iv before, antibiotics and im sure sodium chloride. But Im sure glad they found out that i needed to be hydrated then to have just sent me home dehydrated then we would have had some major problems.

Just woke up now to take some tylenol .. but doing very well.. I dont know why I was so worried about pain.. lol doing great

      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

      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... :(
