Wow. Up until the last minute I thought I was going to change my mind or surely SOMETHING would happen that would not allow me to get banded.

 

But, everything went smoothly and now I am home and banded. I am not in too much pain. It's been about 5 hours since my last dose of liquid codene and I really don't feel like I need more yet. Doing about 1/4 of chicken broth and a lot of ice chips. GasX strips and walking about every hour also seem to be helping. I guess the OnQ is also working wonders since I am just a little sore. How did all the other July 16th bandsters make out? Good luck to everyone else scheduled for July - if you have any questions please feel free to ask!

congratulations on moving through the first phase of what seems to be quite a process. thanks for sharing your experiences. I am scheduled to be banded on 8/26/08 and I feel the same exact way. I was so into it in the beginning and as I have gotten more into the process the idea of not eating real food and having physical discomfort is scary. But I know in my heart that I have tried everything else. I weigh 260 am 47 and have three children two of whom are five and four. So I have to change as we all do. I am so glad that I am not alone in having doubts and being scared. Please let me know how you are doing.
