It's hard to believe, but I made it through surgery and I am now home recuperating. It was hard in many ways, but I was so proud of myself that I did it. I am very sore, but also very happy that it is all done. Just wanted to let everyone know! I just got home from the hospital at about 12:30, and I will write more tomorrow.

Let me be the first to congratulate you! Glad you are home and it's over...at least the hardest part. Make sure you get plently of rest and allow for good healing time. Don't eat anything you aren't suppose too. Your journey has begun!

Rebecca congratulations on being banded!!! I'm 2 weeks post-op and my only advice to you is to walk, walk, walk. It made my recovery so much easier.

So take it easy, drink your Clear Liquids and walk your butt off.

Congrats! I was justed banded on 9-3-09. I am feeling better now. How long are you swollen for? Also, when does the gas pain go away?

That varies from person to person but many feel day 2 is the worst (odd, huh?) SO...from now on you should feel better every day. Even if it was laparoscopic you did just have major surgery so it will take time for everything to heal.

Hi ... I was banded on 8/27/09, and the gas pain didnt hit until 8/31/09. Today (09/05/09) was the first day I didnt have any pain from my shoulder. My doctor said that if you eat too fast, then that also will give you the gas pain in your shoulder. I have lost 25 pounds since surgery...

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
