Banded Yesterday!!



Recommended Posts

Hi Folks, First off all let me thank all the fellow bandsters that wished me well:smile2:

Well all went well better than expected as before I arrived at the Hospital I was a touch nervous. The nurses and surgeons did an excellent job and after meeting with them my mind was at ease. The whole thing was done very proffesionally. The pain now is minimal, they also repaired a abdominal hernia at the same time. sleeping last night was not a problem. So all in all it was something that would be highly recommended :thumbdown:

My weight before at initial visit was 281lbs.

Before pre-op diet (shakes) 279lbs.

After pre-op diet 261lbs.

Day of surgery 261lbs.

Can someone help me on how I do a ticker!! Have tried but cant seem to work it out.:blink:

Second to do a ticker you go to Tickerfactory.com , make your ticker, thren you come back to LBT and go to user cp and paste in the code.

Good luck and keep us updated on your progress.:thumbdown:

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
