Hi Everyone, I was banded on May 13th with a starting weight of 197. Ive had 2 fills so far and now I'm at 179 and I have a total of 4ccs in my band. I'm really happy with my progress so far but I am feeling like I don't have much restriction at all. I haven't been excercising and have been eating pretty much the same things I was eating before, just a smaller amount. I'm not in any rush so I guess we'll see what happens. Wishing good luck to all the May Bandsters!!

yeah im on day 5 and i also have yellow skin around my incision. i got really scared but now i see that its normal. thanks guys!

Hey Everyone, I am new here and I am scheduled to have my surgery on May 13th, which just happens to be a friday **I'm Brave lol**. I was just wondering if anyone else has a date close to mine?? I am planning to start the 2 week liquid diet on May 1st and I am gonna have to start buying some Protein shakes. I hear the muscle milk light is the best tasting one. Does anyone have any suggestions on which ones taste good??? Also I had a question that may sound a little crazy but I'm just gonna ask anyway...... I feel like I am gonna be in a constant panic that my band is gonna slip whenever I do anything physically extraneous. Like for instance, what if I go to Great Adventure and go on a roller coaster with a huge drop! I feel like I am gonna be constantly worried that my band is gonna slip or move somehow. I am paying for this surgery out of pocket and if my band slips then I will have to pay another 15 grand to go in and fix it. So that is my biggest fear right now. Is there anyone who can make me feel a little better about this?? lol I would really appreciate some feedback. Thanks so much!! Elizabeth
