Recommended Posts

Just wanted to update eveybody. I have been banded for almost 24 hours! still in the hospital as my doctor has a overnight policy. but i feel great....well as great as you can when it feels like you've done a bajillion crunches! I didnt get nauseated and they totally stayed on top of my pain. i took a pain meds every 2-3 hours but only the lowest dosage. I wasn't scared....that was the part that amazed me. Every step of the way I was confident that this was MY day and MY choice and MY brand new beginning. Today I am feeling beyond blessed and just waiting to get the all clear to go home! I will take pics of my incisions (that are glued shut the steri stripped then bandaided) after I get home. have a great a day my friends and if this is your band birthday fear not you can do it!

congratulation :). Glad to hear you are doing well. I was banded on 4-16 and I have to say I'm feeling pretty good. Went back to work on Tuesday and all is well. Good luck on your journey.

      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! 😞
