Hi I am a newbie scheduled for 08/25 - how are you doing?

Congratulations Justine! Are you in a lot of pain? I'm nervous about this, as I have not had surgery before. I don't have a surgery date yet but meet for pre-op with my surgeon on 9/22. Best of luck to you.

I was banded today! Got to the hospital at 5:30 was the first appointment. I was out by 2pm. I took a little longer to wake up because I went to bed at midnight so I just wanted to sleep!!! LOL

I'm doing good. I think I went in thinking the pain from gas would be excruciating....it wasn't. My throat hurts more than the gas pains from the breathing tube.

But yea. So far so good. I have to try and get a Protein shake down...8 oz but I was told to drink it 2 tbsp at a time to prevent overeating and having it get stuck. Anyone else had to do this???

I'm documenting EVERYTHING that happened to me on my blog right now (www.shrinkingjustine.com) If anybody wants to share tips or has questions about the surgery who has yet to be banded, just ask or let me know!

Also if anyone is in GA and wants to exchange info we can be band buddies!
