I was BANDED at around 11 a.m. today!!! Yay!! I feel really good except the "dreaded gas pain" I have it in my shoulder and neck. Other than that all is well. I'm drinking Water just like I always did. I guess with liquids there is no difference? Fine with me. Anyway, Thank you ALL for your prayers and best wishes!!

Congratulations. My banding is tomorrow!!! Can't wait. I've got all my issues checked off too!!! Yay

I was also banded in Houston April 2 an I just wanted to update everyone that I am doing great. I will get a fill in 2 more weeks due to the 3cc he had to take out 3 days after surgery because I was staying so sick. I know that I have lost 20 lbs since march 5 th. I can tell a differance now able to wear large clothes instead if 2x. Thanks everyone for all of your concerns for me may you all be blessed !!

Awesome weight loss. Sorry you were so sick after surgery. Getting around now or still too sore? Curious how long before we can be up and around. I know you had issues but since we've corresponded before just thought I'd try to get some info from you. Lol. I'm scheduled for Friday at 10:30. Yikes!

Love this thread- good to see so much encouragement being passed around. I was banded on April 5 in Houston with true results- Dr Hollis. Great experience overall. With pre-op and time after surgery' date=' total of 3 weeks dieting right I've dropped 30 pounds so far. Can't wait to see my results by end of April. If anyone has any questions about diet, Protein powders, etc, just text me @ 281-773-8724 or email me at OakesRealty@yahoo.com. I'm a realtor and manager of a smoothie king so I have extensive knowledge of protein powders and supplements. Good luck to all of you. I know the results will be amazing.[/quote']

I have my banding set with Dr Hollis for Friday at 10:30. Nice to hear from someone who already has experience with him. Glad you were pleased. I'm sure I will be too. Thanks for the encouragement and number in case I need help. Yikes!!!

Yay!! SO excited!! Went to my Pre-op appointment today!! All scheduled for April 12th. Can't wait.

Thank you so much for your posts. I feel very lucky now to be having Dr Hollis as my Dr.. Can't wait for my pre op appt next Wednesday!!!

That is awesome results. So proud of you. How hard is it to stick to the Drs plan? Did you do/take anything else?

Oh I was wondering about that. I guess I would know if I had a hernia, it would hurt!! Lol. I just saw that a lot of patients have that surgery too so I was curious.

Anybody know anything about plication? That's something else that's mentioned on these boards. Curious about that too.

Olivepickles. That's the kind of results I want!!!

Any advice?

How did you know you had a hernia?

Mechelle80, where are you going? Houston True Results? Which Dr? What is plication? Is that elective? Good Luck

Scheduled for April 12th, True Results Houston , Dr Hollis

I have 1st appt with my surgeon, Dr Hollis, next Wednesday (wish it was tomorrow). My surgery date is April 12th if all goes well. SO EXCITED!!
