Quick question...when did you guys have your 1st alcolholic drink after getting the band? I am 20 days post op and down 25 lbs (including liquid diet) This week has been hectic and exciting, celebrated my 2 yr anniversary with my boyfriend and today is his birthday. Just wondering if having one glass of white wine will do any harm? Tganks for the input

Hey guys, so I am 5 days post op and have no idea where my port is....I am still swollen and cant feel where it is. Otherwise I have been doing fine, I am back at work and feel great. Anyone else have had this issue? My surgeon only does 2 incisions so I guess thats another reason why I am xonfused as to there it could be.

Hey! Congratulations! I'm scheduled for tomorrow 1-25-13 @ 8:00am. Can you tell me how surgery day went? I'm just curious of the process' date=' how you felt when you woke up, pain etc. I'm soooo frickin nervous lol[/quote']Heyy, you will be fine!!! What to expect?? As soon as you get into the OR they will give you medication to calm down, and it kicks in FAST!! Then the next thing you know you will be waking up and it will all be over!! After I got somewhat nautious and lightheaded so I took a nap prior to walking around, but I am home and walking and FINE aside from some soreness...dont stress out like I did, Xoxo keep me posted.

I am scheduled for my banding on Thursday as well! I am starting to get nervous which I know is normal. I am having a bunch of dreams about eating foods and realizing I wasn't suppose to eat them lol. I am anxious to get through the surgery the suspense is killing me! Good luck to everyone who is about to get their bands too!Hey guys so I an on the other side, not as bad as I thought!! ... Just feels like someone beat up my stomach but otherwise I am walking around, drinking Water and taking my Vitamins (chewable and dissolvable of course) The only concern is that I cant feel where my port is, but I am also very swollen...anyone else have this issue in the beginning?

So we are on the other side, wooohoooooo!!! How is everyone feeling?!?!?! I feel like someone beat the crap out of my stomach but I can still walk around. I feel pretty okay and am in high spirits. The only thing is that I have no idea where my port is, maybe because I am still very swollen? Anyone else have that issue?

Hey guys, so tomorrow is my big day and all I want to do is cry today...I guess the nerves and relaity, excitment, anticipation, worry ect just wants to flow out of me....Support is much needed. I have never had surgery before and I guess the feeling of the unknown is the worst part of it...looking forward to hearing from you guys xoxoxo

I was banded by Dr. Ren' date=' although I know all the surgeon's in the office, as my Dad and I speak at their information sessions as live testimonials. They are all fantastic and some of the top doctors in the field. Dr. Fielding was even one of the pioneers of the band, who helped bring the band to America from Australia. You will do great![/quote']
Dr fielding is the one doing it for me ahhh super nervous!

Hi! Congrats on your date! Today was tough for me too. I cheated (a little) and had a Healthy Choice chicken noodle Soup. Being home has messed up my routine a little' date=' but I'll be back on track tomorrow. (6 lbs down )[/quote']Hows it going? This wknd was a little bit of a struggle, but no cheating unless you consider replacing a shake with extra steamed veggies? I dont consider that cheating but who knows, highly doubful. But I must say the wknd was harder, but I survived as predicted lol...how is everyone holding up?!

Anali - 3 pounds is awesome! I've lost 1 pound so far. Today was much easier. I'm still not eating the bars and my doctor's office didn't call me back' date=' but I'm okay for now with what I did today. I'm glad your day was better too. We're in this togetherLadybabie - is it getting any easier on Day 4? How's your level of energy? I live in NYC and by the time I get home after all that walking with so little "fuel" in my body, I'm totally drained.[/quote']
