My date has been changed from the 17th to Oct 28 because my father is dying.

I hope all of this stress and grief does not stop my eventual surgery. I need prayers.

Hi everyone

Firstly, thanks Eileen for starting and continuing such a wonderful thread smile.gif

Well, it's a week tomorrow since I was banded. It seems a lifetime ago lol. Sorry to have taken a while to get here with an update, but one day away and soooo much to catch up on.

Everything went very smoothly. I was under by 8am and back in my bed by 11.30am. Home the next day. There were three of us in the same room all banded by the same doctor, so the next day we had a little chat which was nice.

I'm surprised at how little pain there is. I had no shoulder tip pain at all and only pain where the incisions are. I haven't taken any pain medication for two days and feel fine. I should mention I have a very low pain threshold.

The liquids are going down fine, but after two weeks of Optifast pre surgery I am really hanging out for mushies lol. I just want real food nervous.gif

Well good luck to everyone waiting and get well thoughts to everyone healing. And another special thank you to Eileen smile.gif

Betts, WELCOME !! I've added you to the list. HUGS :)

Theresa, glad to hear from you. WOW, you seem to be doing really well. I'm so glad my doc isn't making me do two weeks of liquids b/4 surgery. But then I'm eating like a pig b/c of my nerves...oy.

I don't think anyone is going in until the 20th.

HUGS !!!!

HI there! Can I be added as well??? My band date was October 1st. I'm on day 2 of mushies, and have recovered so well. My incisions are healed and I barely have any pain at all!! I was sore the first day after surgery, but had no shoulder pain, and very little gas pain at all. Everything went smoothly... the clear liquid stage was rough, and even full liquids was challenging, guess I'm just anxious and ready to get to the "restricted and losing" stage!! So impatient... Glad to be among so many others taking the plunge!! Much success to everyone!!! :-) Laura

      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? 🤷‍♀️
