I was banded Dec. 18th 2006 and I couldn't cut or chop my ADD Meds because they are time release, so I talked to my ADD doctor and LB doctor and they told me not to take them for 2-3 weeks, and that my stomach would be able to handle them after that because some people can take tylenol, and my meds are luckily about the size of that. But it is hard being with out it, I have to have others drive me places and help me concentrate. (also I am very lucky i'm on xmas break for college or i'd be screwed). Does anyone have problems taking tylenol sized medicine after 2-3 weeks? P.S. - Sorry if I spelled something wrong, I'm not that great at spelling.

Hi! I'm excited to have found this site. I was banded on Dec.18th 2006,by Dr. Schmit, all is going ok. I am having some problems with my stitches dissolving before the incisions have healed, and they wont restitch them shut, Other than that it is going well. I go back for my first check up on Jan15th 2007. I am still on a liquid diet trying to transistion into the 2 weeks after surgury diet. I'm a college student hoping to change my life(and health) with this surgury and avoid joint replacement beings I am a mechanic that is enevitable but I'm hopeing with this it will postpone it alittle. Hopefully I'll find some helpful hints to help me along the way here (like recipes, exercise, and any information about first check ups, etc.) If you can give me any tips I would be extremely greatful.

I just got my band put in place on dec. 18 2006, I was getting nervous because my family really loves the german and norwegian foods, and I didn't know what to cook. I am really excited to read all of the different ideas for food. I didn't know what i would do when I was able to eat normal foods again. THANK YOU SOO much for the ideas!
