Ugh done...posted a little in April Bandsters. Feeling a liitle woosy so I didnt want to type much.

On my way to the surgery center for the 545 am check in. I dont know if Im nervous yet it is too early. Probably having more angst about not wearing makeup and wearing a barely there, comfy bra than the surgery so far.

Well...Im banded. Feeling pretty uncomfortable...feels like how I imagine a heart attack feels. I guess that is the gas pain stuck in my chest. That pain is so uncomfortable I have no idea if my incision areas hurt. I plan to start walking tomorrow to help with that. Glad it's over and excited for this new chapter to start. Im 4'11" and a 1/2 and weigh 217. Started preop 234. Hoping that in no time Ill be in Onederland. I was 201 in 2010 for five seconds but I remember feeling better at that weight. Havent been below 200 in 8 years. ~ Nichole

No, I used True Results in Scottsdale...the doctor's name is Dr. Nirmul. A few years ago I went to Terry Simpson but they were more expensive...I went the self-pay route (& 2 people I know had it done with him). With True Results all of your fills for the 1st year are included in the price....that to me was huge.

Aww..we'll be band buddies im in the morning too. Good luck!! I hope you get good sleep tonight.

I suppose it is better...more time to heal. About to take a shower and make sure my belly button is clean...lol

Lol...that's funny. I think you're on to something there. I know I dont care to eat so much when it is 110-120 outside. I live near Surprise but Im being banded tomorrow in Tempe. Ahhh.

Tomorrow is my day...ahhh! They had me scheduled for check in at 7 but they called me today to bump me up to 545 check in...so I have to leave my house at 430. Good news is I dont have a lot of time to get nervous with it being so early.

Are you still in Arizona? Im in Az.

Wow...thank you for sharing. That's amazing and Congrats on your little one!

Wow!! That is awesome! You're going to be down some pounds in no time. Good job.

Sooooo awesome. Good job!!

Very cool. I would love to do this. Being banded this Thursday. Is that okay?

After clear liquids I get creamy soups...after day 3 for me. This sounds like it would fit that criteria. Id make sure it is pretty soupy though especially initially.

By myself (9 month old is sleeping, husband took our 6 yr old to teeball) on day 3467964227 of this preop diet (actually 2 weeks and 1 day)... and the mental battle begins. There is so much Easter candy in this house....it is driving me crazy. I am an addict going through withdraws. Lost 15 lbs so Im doing good and I want to keep it up but those dang Reeses peanut butter eggs are calling my name. I friggin hate this. Not going to do it...going to busy myself with my budget and bills. Nichole

Well, but he hasnt had it every day though. Im going to bring the stuff that I personally have a problem with...like Reese's and Snickers. I could care less about Pop Rocks and Starbursts.

I went with True Results too. I know they have them everywhere but Im in Arizona. Where are you?

Having mine done with Dr. Nirmul this Thursday, April 19 th.
