NCBanded

OMG... I was also banded by Dr. Bovard on March 4th in Raleigh... I bet you were the person right after me because when he stopped in after surgery he joked that he was able to practice on me before he operated on the next person. Too cool!!!!!! I've lost a little over 25 pounds but this morning when I got on the scale I had gained 3 lbs since yesterday. I am not all that worried because it is my T.O.M. My pants are fitting loose, even getting baggy so overall I feel great. I had a few complications a couple of days after surgery (I developed a stomach virus) which was NOT pleasant AT ALL but Dr. B prescribed an anitbiotic and everything seems to be cleared up.

Well, the big day is almost here... I get banded tomorrow, March 4 and I have found that the more that I read the more I am pschying myself out, lol... major information overload!! Good luck and best wishes to everyone!!

March 4th is THE day, I'm having surgery on that day as well... my surgery is at 1pm so hopefully by this time on Friday I will be in recovery driving everyone nuts I wish you the best of luck MoTown and to everyone else!!!!!!

My surgery is this Friday, the 4th and I am a nervous wreck. I know this is the best decision for me but it still doesn't calm all the doubts floating in my head. I guess that is only natural. We CAN do this... congrats to everyone!!!

Not having all that fat, carbs etc holding me back I actually gained energy... the hunger pains are still around and I still crave something to chew (I have been on a 2 week Opti-fast liquid only diet). And the fact that I have lost 14 pounds since I started the liquid diet has helped add a bounce in my step As a side note, I get banded this Friday and am getting very, VERY nervous.

Best of luck... I go on Friday for mine.
