Way to go. What a difference. You look fantastic.

I found that if I propped myself on three pillows while sleeping on my back I could sleep. It will get easier everyday.

I was banded July 25. Started at 264 down to 240 now. No fills yet. Just starting solid food today. Wish I had lost more but they say many gain weight during this phase so I guess I should be happy with my results.

Thanks everyone. It wasn't nearly as bad as I thought. The post anaesthetic shakes were the worst part for me. Now just having a little left shoulder gas pain but able to rest in my electric recliner. Dry, dry, dry and can't seem to get fluids in fast enough. Just sipping away. No incisional pain at all.

Well the day has finally arrived and the nerves have kicked in. Couldn't sleep a wink. Off to Toronto in an hour. See you all on the banded side.

Hi everyone. Getting banded this Thursday the 25th. Very excited. It's funny my family is more worried than I am. Wish me luck and speedy pain free healing. Lol

Lesslee congrats on your run. I hope I will have that kind of drive.

I'm actually pretty calm. I think reading all the positive threads here has helped. I'm down to 249 as of this morning. That's 15 lbs from my start weight. I'm getting excited now with only five days to go.

Slimband is the name of a clinic/franchise that performs the lapband procedure here in Canada. Kind of like True Results in Texas.

Eat breakfast food for supper.lol

Thanks so much!

That's encouraging. Hope all goes well with your fill. Keep me posted. )

Hi Lesslee. Thanks. Have you had many issues with the slimband team. Are you feeling supported by them? Trying to avoid any hassles along the way. This is stressful enough.

Hotbutterfly forgive yourself and move on. You will be fine. Juliebee
