I am officially a bandster....woot woot. I got home about 1:30 this afternoon, did the breathing thing they sent home with me, took a nap. I woke up feeling good and could even sleep on my side. I did get out and walk about 1/4 of mile to work the gas out after my nap but think I will just veg out the rest of the evening. I hope all the others banded today had the same kind of experience. I hope tomorrow is as good as today or maybe even better!! I will be waiting to hear from everyone that was banded today on their experiences.

Good Morning! Thanks again for all the well wishes...I am up and getting dressed to head out for my new journey. I wish all my fellow 22nd bandsters good luck today and hopefully we will meet back here this evening. I wish all the ones already banded continued success. Am so glad this forum is here.

Thanks for the good thoughts, got the call finally. The nurse told me to be there at 7:15 tomorrow morning unless she called me back after talking to the Dr. about my sinus issue. I will post with results tomorrow!! Thanks again!!

Hello All, I am waiting for my final phone call with the time that I have to be at the surgery center in the morning. I am nervous, anxious and a little scared, but am hoping that a slight sinus issue I have had this week will not cause a problem. I started taking meds on Monday trying to keep it from getting too bad, has mainly affected my throat and my lungs are clear, no fever at all, so I am hoping that my surgeon says come on in. I have been on my pre-op diet since the 7th and really can't stand the thought of doing it again or worse yet staying on it til I am rescheduled. Well really just wanted to share my worries with some that would understand while I am waiting for my phone to ring. Hopefully this time tomorrow I will be posting that I am a bandster!!

Congratulations!! Glad that you are doing so amazing. I go next Friday to become an official April bandster and hope that I can do half as well as you. I will be watching your progress this week so I can have some idea of what I might experience. Thanks for sharing and good luck with continued speedy recovery!!

I finally found that the soy protein from EAS is the one that I can stand enough to get thru this. Good luck! I am looking forward to following each other and keeping track with our progress!!

Hi, I am relatively new here myself, have only made one other post, but I have been lurking like crazy trying to learn everything I can. I am on day 7 of my pre-op diet and go this afternoon to do all my pre-certification and registrations for surgery on the 22nd. The pre-op has been easier than I thought it would be and I have lost 10 lbs so far, but I am already looking forward to the mushy food stage. I am starting to get a little nervous, but I figure that is normal. Good luck with your pre-op diet, hopefully it will be easy for you too. I plan to take a before picture the night before my surgery so I can keep a good record of my body changing, I will post pics soon as well. Hope to hear from you again soon.

I just got my call, insurance approved!! Surgery date is April 22nd.
