  1. I am in the same situation. I was banded on Monday and since then just feel depressed and like I made a big mistake and am never going to feel the "same". Even though the "same" is the comforting feeling of binge eating and then going to bed. I feel like a roller coaster of emotion!
  2. Quick question, how soon after being banded did you have your post-op appointment and fill? I was banded yesterday (january 28th) and my doctor wants to see me back for a fill in two weeks.
  3. Hi all! Got banded yesterday at 1:30pm and was released at 5pm. I have 3 incisions...a big one about 2 inches above my belly button, smaller one to the right and an even smaller one in between my breasts. Luckily I feel great (knock on wood) and was able to sleep through the night, only waking up every 4 hours for some pain pills. No gas pain yet but I do feel like I need to have a BM but am worried to strain. Am thinking of taking some milk of magnesia to help with that.
  4. 1. Buying tons of new clothes at Zara 2. Being able to wear rings 3. Not have to feel like I'm always the fattest person in the room 4. I want to wear dresses and heels and have nice legs!? 5. Not wanting to die at the thought of getting naked/sex
  5. I'm being banded on January 28 and am feeling nervous. I'm trying my best with the liquid diet but its really been hard. I just wanted to say hello and I love that we can all support each other on here xx Victoria
  6. Hi! I'm new here. Had all of my pre-ops today and am getting banded on the 28th! I am 24, no kids, live in Los Angeles, and have a loooot to lose!
