I was banded 6/6/2012 and I have lost 8lbs.
OMG!! That is awesome!! You should be so proud of yourself!!! Pleas give me some advice!! I am only 9 days out!!

You will do great! You've done your homework and know MOST of what you need to be successful. Just like anything new, you are simply getting a case of butterflies and uncertainty is setting in! Once you get into the swing of things, it will become the norm for you and the pounds will melt away! Can't wait to hear about your successes!

Hey all
i wanted to share that i reached my first mini goal since surgery (4/18). i was always exercising and dieting before the band..i would loose 25 and just stop loosing at a certain number..no matter what i ate and how hard i worked out...i even thought i had something wrong with me b/c i could not get the scale to move in a year...gave up and i all came back hense the reason for lapband....that being said today i finally am one pound below that weight that wouldnt budge!! feels great to beat that scale for once...so far ive lost 33lbs and i now im on to the next goal!

I was banded this morning.
In some pain near port site and have a pillow on my stomach. On another note..
So glad I graduated over to postop!

I am also getting banded on June 6th. I am starting to get a little nervous, but I am also very excited!!! I was not required to do a pre- op diet until the day before. I am trying a liquid diet out today and tomorrow so I can see how it os going to be. What about you???
