Banded and SO Happy I could just...



Recommended Posts

Hello Everyone.

It is almost like a dream come true for me. I finally have my band (Oct 29th), and am now home trying to work the gas through my system. What has been wonderful is that I have read all of your posts and experiences and knew that everything I was experiencing was NORMAL (because of the info on this message board).

Anyway, I am so inspired, I decided to start a blog and capture my adventure.. so please visit my story below..

The only downside to all of this is that I did leave the hospital heavier than I arrived.. I know this is probably fluids and GAS (ha ha).. Belly is swollen, but hopefully with time this all goes away...

Be well

I too was banded on Oct 29th...so far so good...tough first night at the dr gave me codiene which does not agree with me, so I am now just taking Tylenol every 4 hrs. I look forward to the journey and am greatful for all of the posts and inspiration...it took me a year to get insurance approval and now I am finally here and counting the days to spring break to go on a long awaited hike with my family.:Yawn: Good luck to you and I look forward to reading your blog.

      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! 😞
