Hey, I'm new to this site and I am to be banded August 28th. I was wondering if there was any advise or recommendations, any of you experienced banders could provide me. Is there anything I should do to better prepare myself for surgery? ;)

Try to relax and enjoy the ride. The first few weeks might be a challenge but it does get easier follow your docs recommendations and all will be fine. Good luck

I think I chated with you in chat room? (Depression bad today) Just be sure and buy the things you need for the first couple of food stages you go through before surgery because you might not feel like going to the store.

Also make sure you take pillow with you to hospital for the ride home. Hold it against your tummy for when there is bumps. I learned that here and thank God I took one.;)

Good call 123crod!!! KEEP a pillow in the car!! I forgot it two days later and my husband found every pot hole in New Orleans when we were on our way to my nephews wedding! The two weeks leading up to the surgery went by fast on the liquid diet because I kept my "eye on the prize"! Good luck!

Don't forget a really comfortable bra. If you were underwires by one that is soft cup. There will be an incision that is right under that spot.

My larger incision is there and it is where they did most of the work but my port is much lower on the lefthand side.

I wonder why they put my port there. But I know it is there cause that is where Dr. filled it and put bandaid and it hurt after fill for a little bit. ;)

      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.
