    Hey Jamie! This is pretty funny cuz I live near the Storrs area as well. I actually went to Dr. Tousignant in Norwich and had my surgery at Backus Hospital and it went amazingly. If you ever want to talk let me know. I'm 24 and am sooo happy I made this decision. I've lost about 60 pounds I think so far and I had my surgery in Feb. of this year.

    Dr Tousignant also did mine!! He is great

    Let me know how your fill goes. I have mine in a few weeks and I'm nervous!

    I'm starting to feel restriction in the morning... Otherwise nothing. I get full easily but don't stay full for more than 2 or 3 hours.

    My fill went good got 3 cc but still no restriction can u say frustration!!!!!

    My incisions itched for awhile. I'm now on mushy food' date=' my swelling has gone down and I have discovered that I no longer have to drink slowly, I think I can eat anything with little restriction, although I have not tried anything. But yesterday ate much more than I should be able. Right now fell like I don't have a band at all. First fill is on June 25th, gotta be careful.[/quote']

    I was banded on may 4 and after I began to heal I could eat anything and gulp liquid with no restriction matter of fact I still can!! It is scary I haven't gained or lost I am staying the same I lost 26 lbs before surgery and I m still at same!! First fill is tomorrow can't wait!!!! Need restriction lol

    I'm on day 3 and had cream of wheat for Breakfast (my doc said I could) and it was good. However I feel no restriction whatsoever and feel like I could eat anything with no consequence. I don't get filled for another 4 weeks. Does anyone else feel this way? I'm sticking to the diet' date=' just scared because I don't feel much different than I did before my surgery.[/quote']

    I was banded on may 4 and I also don't have any restriction at all! Feels like before surgery it's kinda disappointing!!! I saw dr Thursday and they said I won't feel good restriction until like 3 filly first isn't till next Thursday !!! I'm struggling bad

    I am finally home!!! feeling pretty sore today got shoulder pain. I a walking aroound alot though to try to releive the pains. boy it sure was scarry having complications with my heart. Delayed surgery 2 days. had to have echo and stress test which by the way the stress test hurt bad, they injected me with this chemical that made it feel like i was having a full blown heart attack, very very uncomfortable. but all tests showed my heart was strong so they preceded to do surgery yesterday morning and i am home today. So glad to be home 3 day stay was too long for me lol.

    OMG' date=' I hope there is nothing serious going on with your ticker (heart)! I will be thinking of you. I am scheduled for 5/8 as well for WLS-Lap Band. I cannot wait. I hope that can figure out what to corrent the issue before 5/8 so you are not delayed a long time. Best wishes! I am sure the weight loss would greatly improve any heart issue anyway.[/quote']

    Love the idea of posting our pics in a month. I still need to take full body pre op pictures.

    I am so sorry!! Was your heart rate just too fast or do you have a heart condition? This is just a hiccup and I know everything will work out for you.

    I also strongly agree with Chantix. I think this is a miracle pill. I quit 12 weeks ago last Tuesday and It has really worked for me and my husband. Chantix really made it very easy to quit and I have tried on several occasions before. But chantix really kicked the nicotine in the butt for me.

    CONGRATULATIONS ! quitting smoking is huge! I weighed myself and am down 18 pounds now want it to be at least 20 by surgery day on wednesday. :P I know I can do it mind over matter. I am taking about 5 days off only i work 2 jobs and only have vacation time at one so my doc told me as long as i am up to it i can go back whenever i decide! I work so much that it is gonna be so wierd being home so much :) my family will probly be sick of me after 3 days lol
