Weel the surgery went well. The doc fixed a hiatal hernia that I didnt know I had during my banding. This evevning I have a throbbing pain in my left clavicle/neck/ and shoulder. Gas pains I suzpecf. I was given Lortab elixer for pain. I am sippi.g on Water and having no trouble getting about 30 ml in at a time. Taking Zofran for some underlying nausea. It is hard to go from lying down to sitting though...I look pretty funny doing it. I am having trouble sleeping...I am exhausted but sleep wont come. Think it may be the medicine.

I go in for surgery April 12. I was told to have a slimfast shake for two Meal Replacements and eat one healthy meal.Not to exceed 1200 total calories a day for two weeks prior..so i will start on this friday. Drink Water only and start walking before the surgery to get the weight loss started. I was told to bring my cpap machine with me the day of surgery. I have lost 7 pounds since my original weigh in back in Sept 2012 at my lap band seminar. I really want to lose 15 pounds before surgery, but I would be happy with 10....lol Just ready to buy smaller clothes..tired of shopping in the plus size!

I am very excited about my upcoming date for banding. I am 3 weeks from the "BD" . This past week just drug by. I am trying to increase my Water intake and cut out soda's and coffee out of my diet this week. Next week I will drop all the bread and pasta's from my diet. I am adding Protein Shakes next week. Anyone else getting banded by Lap Band VIP in Southern California?

Yay! I have my band date....April 12. I get so frustrated when people tell me that I am making a mistake because I can do it on my own. If I could do it on my own I would have. I am extremely happy to be moving forward with this surgery and look forward to reaching my goal weight! I need to lose 80 lbs.

I am 3 days post op now. I am less sore and have a little relief from gas pains. I have had alot if phlem build up and been trying to drink warm Water for that and gently cough. The soreness is like when you over did sit ups and you get sore...well its like that x2 for me. I slept a little better last night. I was told to take my bandages off today and shower but to leave the steri strips intact. I will fo that today for sure. Not hungry so that is good,
