I too am from upstate ny. I do have some summery 18's I wouldn't mind parting with. What is your zip code?

Finally growing out of my 18's. anybody have any 14/16 they want to give away?

Am three weeks out and have had a wonderful journey so far. However I woke up this morning and noticed that whenever I use my stomach muscles I'm getting a weird pain near my port site. It feels almost like an internal pinch. Any ideas what this could be?

I had the ideal surgery. Not a single complication. In fact the very next day i was out shopping for furniture. The doctor is just really strict about the post op diet. I have considered taking a spoonful of cottage cheese to get my Protein in because having three Protein shakes a day is becoming unbearable.

Consider yourself lucky. I'm am 5 days post op. saw my doctor today. For the next two weeks I am strictly only allowed protein shakes. I asked if I could have broth or yogurt and I was shot down. I'm not really hungry yet, but I literally miss having something to chew on. Good luck with everything!

I went for my post op visit today. I've lost 11 and a half pounds. It feels really great I wish I was able to eat food though because I kind of miss the motion of chewing but my doc wants me to be on liquids and protein shakes for 2 more weeks!! Cannot wait until the 27th!

Personally, I like the isopure. They have several favors including mango and vanilla, but my favorite is chocolate chip cookie dough. It's a little pricy, but taste much better than the other brands I've had.

Good luck! It will be worth it

My insurance company didn't require a special diet, but there are certain test and procedures the surgeon requires to make sure I was healthy enough for surgery. From seminar day to surgery day (today ) it was a little over three and a half months. Totally worth every waiting minute though. I feel so proud of myself and already feel my confidence growing!! Best of luck to you.

I told my job that I was going in for same day surgery to have a hernia repaired. I feel exactly as you do. It's no ones business until you want to make it their business. Good luck and don't be nervous, it's a piece of cake!!

I am so happy there is very very little discomfort and I can't wait to see results. The doctor and hospital staff were amazing and I just couldn't be happier right now.

Congrats and good luck to you!! I can completely understand how you are feeling haha!!

hell all! Tomorrow is my last day band free! I am very excited, yet super nervous at the same time! I know this is the right decision and I'm proud of myself for realizing that, but of course there are always small worries at the back of your mind. My doctor prescribed me xanax for the morning of because I know I'm going to have the butterflies terribly. I was wondering if any of you had the same issue and if the xanax actually helped?

Good Luck on your journey. Congrats on making this wonderful life decision!
