Congratulations!!!!

Si excited but scared. Any advice? I've lost 24.4 lbs from my banded date! Yay me!

My doctor wants me off bc for a month b4 surgery because it causes risk of blood clots. That is prob the reason thy want u off for 2 weeks post op. still trying to figure out what I'm Gona do....don't think abstaining is Gona be an option w my hubby.....there is just so much support a spouse can give on this journey!! Lol

Thank you...that makes sense!

I only waited 4 days!! Granted we were gentle.

Sorry to ask but did you use birth control? If so what kind?

It will be nearly 7 months. Of course my hubby is deployed so its not like I have another option.

You are too funny! So sorry to go off topic but how you holding up without the hubby? I take it he hasn't seen your progress right?

Just got off the phone with the nurse and he said i was cleared but no birth control. 15 days post-op today! What the heck no birth control? Do you know if that's true?

How long after being banded did ya'll do the deed? If you don't mind me asking?

Hi threre I'm 13 day post-op and I'm having trouble keeping to the preset diet. I'm able to drink and eat. I've tried egg salad sandwhich with wheat bread. Please help. Not sure i can go through with this.

I was banded on Thursday, May 30 and returned to work on June 3rd. Monday was bad, i had to go home early. I rested took my meds and I was ok. Went back to work today was ok until just a little.

kimmmc - funny you mentioned that I've been experiencing the same thing. Hopefully someone can relate and tell us it's normal

How exciting - good luck to you.

Good luck!

@HelloGoodbye: how are you feeling?

HelloGoodbye, congrats and wish you a speedy recovery. Please let us follow you in this journey. I'm scheduled to get banded on the 30th of this month and love reading all the posts. THey are all filled with tips and tricks and it's wonderful. I do have a question if you don't mind, you said you had to wash your stomach area with Hibiclens to kill the germs and prevent infections, was this doctor ordered? Where do you get such?

Really sore?

First day post-op how you feeling?

Congratulations......was this surgery done in CA?
