Home and Banded



Recommended Posts

I got home from Mexico this evening. I got my band on Thursday afternoon and I am feeling great, but I was a little tired after being on the planes and in airports and going through customs today so I took a nap when I got home.

When I woke up in recovery from the surgery I was in pain (mostly my shoulder), but it subsided by that evening and was gone by the time I was released from he hospital Friday morning. My stomach is swelled though, in fact I look pregnant. My incisions look really good. I haven't needed any pain medication and get full with just a little liquid. I don't think I can get 64oz. of Water down in a day right now. I will try and do better on the Water tomorrow.

I got the Inamed 11cm. band. The whole process was very easy and the doctor and the nurses took really good care of me. They did laugh at me when I hid my face under the covers before they drew my blood and put the IV in. They probably hadn't ever seen an adult as scared of needles as I am. I did appreciate their humor instead of being agitated with me though.

Thanks everyone for all the support and information you provided to me pre-band. The information I received from you all played a bigger part in my decision to get the band than any other research I did.

Glad you are home and healing well. You will surely feel swollen for a few days. I looked and felt pregnant! I think I even walked that way..lol But, give yourself a little time, and it is all worth it.

Congratulations, again!

Barb I'm so glad it was a good experience for you and welcome home.

Nobody is more scared from needles than my Mom. I have to physically hold her down when they come at her and she's 77 LOLOL AND has had 7 kids...go figure lol. I'm sure they are used to it.

Anyway...good luck on getting more Water in tomorrow...hugs !!!

      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.
