I felt that why after surgery as well. I also had surgery on the same day, but I was determine not to let the pain win...by Friday evening I drove to walmart....Saturday morning did 4 laps around the track at a good pace. The more u move the better u feel. I thought I had a problem with getting liquids down so I would take a few sips, maybe let water sit in my mouth and spit it out so that it wasn't as dry. But u will be okay..good luck

I was banded 9/22 as well and I had the stomach talk to...couldn't get rid of my gas...so I took a few sips of Ginger ale..and behold one big burp...felt so good..I had to get what works for me...good luck on your journey

I am 4 days away from my surgery and I can't wait. Has anyone surgery ever been canceled I think thats the only thing I am worried about.....no weight loss on my liquid diet..it just stayed the same....nervous

Yes, I will only pay 250.00 being that its an outpatient procedure and that is due at the time of my surgical interview

Hello everyone I am just getting back to the site; however today started my 2 week liquid diet. My band date is set for september 22 pending insurnace approval

Hello people I have been gone for a while, but i am back again. Today was the start of my 2 weeks liquid diet and let me tell you its no walk in the park. Can anyone suggest any good ideas to get past the 2 weeks. Please help

I wanted to know if anyone has been seen by Dr. Robert Richards in Duluth, Ga at Gwinnett Medical Center

I am so glad that someone asked that question because i was so unsure. I have cigna as well and they want me to do the same thing. I have decided to do the pre-op diet each month for one week until the big day.

Hello I wanted to know how did your 6 month prerequirements go for you. I will be meeting with my doctor in the morning to start the process. Good luck as well!!!

Hello I am new here to the site, and I would love to get advice from some of you that had the surgery. I am starting my diet and exercise program that must be done before I have the lapband. So again I would love to hear from you.
