I'm officially a bandster!


Recommended Posts

Hi there!!

I am officailly a bandster now. I had my surgery Wednesday, and everything went really well. The trip home to Florida from TJ was looong!! I was so uncomfortable on the plane, but that is a small price to pay for the results I will be getting. I loved the OCC, everyone there made you feel very welcome.

Also, I want to thank all the other girls who were there with me, I was so nervous about being alone, but I never once felt lonely or left out. THANK YOU!!

I got on the scale when I got home, and guess what? I am UP 2 1/2 pounds! I was so shocked since I have not had any food since Tuesday. How long was it before the rest of you saw a weight change? I have only had clear liquid at this point.

Congratulations and welcome to Bandland.

Don't worry about the weight gain. I gained 7 lbs from the time I left until I got home!!! It was all water weight. Keep sipping your water and it will come off.

2 pounds could be the iv fluid, or.. gasp.. dare I say it?... constipation from traveling.

:lb24: :lb21: Congratulations....I did not weigh myself for a week because of flying and surgery...you are probably still bloated from both.

I was up 5 when I got home from OCC - it's just post-op swelling. It will go away - no worries :rolleyes:

Hey there Jacqui1,

Yes me and Pam were also banded on Wednsday and we are so excited.

The flight home was probally the worse part of the trip but it seems they do not have much room for larger people especially when you are swollen and uncomfortable. We asked to upgrade but firstclass was full and also cost350.00 extra. WOW.

Everything else seems to be going well though, I am down 2lbs since getting home =D> Let us know if your going back for your fill we would love to get together with you. Had a blast! Good Luck.

Welcome and congrats. Do not worry about the weight gain. You will see the numbers go down soon enough. Good luck in the next coming weeks. For some they are tough but you will do fine. Please keep us posted - we are here if you need anything.

Congratulations to all 3 of you. I'm really looking forward to following your weight loss with you. I have only 5 more sleeps until I'm banded. Wow... getting really close!!

Hi Jacqui ~ this is the other Jacque that had surgery the same day as you!! Don't feel bad my weight gain was 5 pounds of gas, but I totally felt it. I am also now down 10 pounds plus those 5 but I never really counted them to start with since I knew it was gas!
