Prayers for all those getting banded. I had mine last Friday. It wasn't as bad as I'd expected. Some pain on my left side but manageable. You're going to do great!

Feeling a little better tonight! Getting all my liquids in and hoping to start protein shakes tomorrow. I'm so grateful for the encouragement here, I freaked out earlier wondering why I'd done this....

Hi all, I was successfully banded yesterday. Got to the hospital at 6am and was home by 1:30. Sharp pain on my left side near an incision but otherwise I'm doing great!

At the hospital getting ready for bandng! Prayers are appreciated!

Hi all, it's 5:45am and I'm walking in to be admitted! Just a couple hours and I will be banded!!!

My surgery is Friday, I have to be at the hospital at 6am. Can't wait!!!

Fallon, I agree with the others- the only thing I'd add is that their stories are not our stories. Their negativity, their mistakes don't have to be yours or anyone else's. your path is still unfolding so have hope and stay strong! The healthier you get for yourself, the healthier you can be even for them...

Btw- I weighed in this am after 5 days of pre op and I'm down 10 pounds. Yeah!!!!

Hi all, thanks! I think I mostly just needed to put it out there publicly for accountability. I did have half of an apple and then go to bed. Just had my protein shake and I'm headed out the door ready for a great day! Thanks!

Hey all, I'm in day 5 of my preop diet and tonight I'm starving. My dr. doesn't require a preop diet- just no eating the night before BUT reading your posts inspired me and I'm on a self motivated diet. Now im so hungry i want to give up. Help me get through the night!!

Amen to being a great group! I can't wait until next Friday when I am also banded!!!

Congrats! Are you having the gas pains people are talking about? One week from today-I can't wait!!!

Hi everyone, I joined in late in the month- hope that is ok. I'm getting banded on 10/26 and am thankful for you all sharing stories and encouragement.

You too! Where are you? Please post to let us know how it goes and what to expect!

These all sound so good thank you! I'm new to the whole protein shake thing. I got sample packets today- what constitutes a scoop? Would that be the entire sample packet? Any recommendations?

That is the same day as me! I'm in NY. Also very anxious to have the day arrive. Really excited and want to be on the other side of it!

Rockland county, ny

Fairly new to the county and very new to banding. Anyone nearby looking to connect/support?

We have the same date! I'm in NY. Just found this site tonight and I'm so excited!
