Hi all,

Just wanted to let everyone know that I made it! I'm a bandster, and I'm doing pretty well. I came home yesterday, and have been drinking and walking. Just a little discomfort with gas pain, but nothing that isn't manageable.

I can't thank everyone who has helped me, enough. Everything I've read, all the information, advice and support, helped to make my surgery a pretty smooth one. A lot happened on my surgery day, but I'll post that later.

Again, thanks to everyone. this site is fantastic!

Debbie

Thank you all. LapBandNeeded, I was sooo scared, but it really was a piece of cake for me. My BMI was 53 also, and I lost 22 pounds before surgery, so I know you can do it!

And I am on my way to the post op forum! Thanks again everyone!

Hi Beth,

As the Beatles said, "It's getting better all the time." My gas pains have been manageable, I'm walking, and I've noticed an improvement today. I'm trying hard to drink lots of liquids, but I can't wait to have my first scrambled egg! Even the pain of moving doesn't seem so bad today.

Thanks for asking!

Sounds like you're doing GREAT!! With my surgery, I was up and down -- felt good one day, not so great the next, then good the day after, then bad again. I never had the gas pains at all... it was more attributable to just feeling blah.

Congrats!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
