Yes my dr told me to walk every 45 mins fo 15 mins and I really have had little to no gas pain, stomach is very tender of course and my back was hurting but the heating pad is doing the trick! Thank you all for thinking of me, I'm glad to have support from fellow bandsters and bandsters to be. Yall are AWESOME Rn925- glad things went well and you are home now. We did it!

Thank you all so much for your thoughts, I am officially banded now!! I was scared but made I thru just fine I have been home for a while and am in minimal pain (where port is) other then that slight gas pain but nothin bad at all yet at least. Thank you everyone for your words of encouragement

Thank you!!

I am getting banded today @ 9:30 woohoo please say a prayer for me I'm very nervous. I'm happy and sad at the same time, my husband has to work so he will not be able I come today. I will have my mom by my side though Happy Friday everyone

Yaya it's almost here!!

Good luck!!! I am getting banded as well @ 9:30 so exciting and very very very scared at the same time. I just want it to go smoothly and not die lol I'm kinda dramatic I guess ill say a prayer for you see ya on the other side banded

Oops I hit send and didn't finish! I had bought the stuff from my dr not sure on the brand it's th true results kind ( strawberry) I do not recommend! It was very foamy and gritty, I cannot have dairy products so it was mixed with water

I've been using muscle milk lite (chocolate) its pretty good totally tolerable! I had bought

Hey I am being banded tomorrow as well good luck!! My nerves are really starting to kick in

That's awesome congrats I am going to true results in Houston my surgeon is Dr. Hollis. I will be banded Friday, good luck on your journey

Awe that's cool yes we are gonna b band buddies! I'm not sure what time my surgery starts they said 1 to 2 hrs after I get there, maybe we will be the same time good luck lets keep in touch

Congrats!!!

Yaya congrats to y'all for getting it some already and for the ones getting it done Friday and the 31st. My surgeon called today and I have to be there Friday @ 9:30! I'm getting very excited and framed out at the same time good luck everyone

Great I'm glad that some of you have had dr Hollis, I will meet him tomorrow for my pre op appt. as far as the nurses after, I'm glad I will have my mom with me she gets very overprotected if someone is ugly to her kids! Haha Im sure it will all work out either way.

I am going there as well, mine is dr Hollis. Don't have much reviews yet ( not banded till the 28) but everyone seems very friendly so far! Good luck

I'm new here, my surgery is the 28th. Congrats to all that have already been banded this month!! I enjoy reading your thoughts and experiences, it gives me confidence Thanks

Thank you both! I will def have a heating pad ready and gas strips, I know there will be pain associated with the surgery I'm just hoping its not horrible!!!

Yea it's not the best, I had bought the shake mix from my dr and it was horrible! They told me I could drink muscle milk light instead. So I drink 2 of the muscle milk light (chocolate) and its soo easy to drink. Then I get.1 meal of grilled chicken 1 cup of green veggies and 1 cup of fruit. It was very hard at first but now I'm having a hard time just drinking my whole shake! Are you only having liquids? Or do you get 1 meal?

Awe sounds good! I was kinda sad that no one had responded to me since it was my 1st post and sooo happy you did! Thank you ans yes we will keep in touch

Good luck tomorrow!

Hello all, my name is Tiffany I am 23 married to a wonderful man for 5 years now. I started my pre op diet last Friday 12/14/12 and seem to be doing well on it. The Dr's office called me today and let me know my insurance approved the surgery. I am excited and scared at the same time. Any suggestions or tips before or after surgery would be wonderful. I was diagnosed with Pcos when i was 10 and diabetes I'm hoping that this lifestyle will help my Pcos/diabetes and hopefully help us with having children in the future. Thanks for reading!
