I am getting banded on Thursday morning at 7:30 a.m.:huh2::)

Is anybody scared or just ready to get it done? I am a school teacher so I have been really busy at work and all of a sudden it is here! Yikes!!! At least I have the rest of the week and next week to recuperate (Spring Break). Good luck to everyone!

I will be laying in the OR at 7:30 tomorrow morning....all I can say is I hope and pray this is the right thing for me.

I've been very confident in my desicion up until the last few days, now suddenly it seems like every post I read is someone complaining about their band.

Please keep in touch I'd love to have some great folks to commiserate with!!

Good Luck to us ALL!!

I was banded yeasterday, my 62nd birthday. Am having a lot of pain. Surgery took twice as long as my surgeon explained I had so much scare tissue from my previous surgeries. But I woke up with th Band and that is all that counts. I am ready to start my new lifestyle. Good luck to everyone still getting banded this week. There is a lot of us.

I was banded on Monday 3/23. I am feeling much better now that I am 3 days post op. All I can say is take your pain meds, don't skip, take them every 4 hours. I thought I would be okay just taking tylonol the day after surgery and did way too much on my first day post op. I am now just feeling better. Good luck to all of you getting banded this week

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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?

      April Surgery
      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! 😞
