I was also banded the 20th with hernia repair. Gas hasn't been problem...a little bloating but not really painful. I think my appetite is starting to return some. My incisions are really starting to itch....but overall don't feel too bad. I wish all the other July bandsters good luck and quick healing.

I've got 6 more days of pre-op.....going to be banded on July 20th! Getting excited!

Sounds great....I need all the extra support I can get!

Thank you so much for the advice....I am on my 3rd day pre-op. You are very inspiring!

I am having surgery July 20. My husband is supportive....not so with my daughter. I have 60 to lose for normal BMI. She thinks I should just diet......I have been overweight most of my adult life....only time I have lost significant amount of weight was with diet pills. I now have high blood pressure. I want to be healthy. I want to fit into normal size clothing. I want to be able to walk more than a block without getting out of breath. Yes I am apprehensive but at the same time I am excited for my new life!

I am getting banded on July 20th. Second day of pre-op.....so far feeling ok. I am getting excited and apprehensive at the same time.

Anyone from Texarkana or SE Oklahoma getting banded or already had surgery?

Anyone out there banded in texarkana ....dr. Hekker?

My surgery date is July 20th. I am excited...but also scared of the 2 week pre-op liquid diet. Also apprehensive about complications.
