Hello Everyone and Congratulations for all your successes I was banded on the 28th and have just now started soft foods. My only down side is that I get fatigued still from surgery. I have stopped taking my pain meds since I have no pain. I did wake up 2 nights ago with pain in left shoulder that felt like I was stabbed not sure if that is the gas pain all is talking about but it is the first pain from that area since surgery Just a side note I lost 11 lbs preop and 11 lbs since the 28th and I visit Dr on Friday Have a great day All

Just found this website and this is my first post! I am also getting my lap band on the 28th! I am very happy and nervous the day is here. I have been on a strict liquid diet since the 17th and it is the hardest thing I have ever done but very soon it will just be something in my rear view mirror. I am 56 years old who struggles with my weight and also had open heart surgery 5 years ago so hopefully this will go along way in keeping me healthy for a long time. Good luck to all and I hope
