Banded Oct 15, 2013 down 20 lbs in the Green Zone not hungry much. First fill was December 2nd. 5ccs in my size 11 band. I feel great! But not exercising like I should. Eliptical machine is on my Christmas list.

I am 1 week out and doing ok. Moved to full liquid/ watery mushies on Friday and doind good. Hows everyone else doing?

I go back to work tomorrow for 3 12 hour shifts in a row. I am a little nervous. I want to remain hydrated which is hard at work. Also eating slowly on a 1/2 hr lunch will be a challenge. 7.4lbs down so far on post op day 6. My follow up appt is next week 11/1. I can't wait!!

Take it easy -- I hope the soreness goes away quickly for you and you have an easy transition into banded life. I'm so excited to get the surgery and look forward to any advice you may have! What does your post-op regime look like?

The gas in my left belly looks like I am pregnant

I was banded on the 9th and about a week after the surgery the pain seemed to dissipate but I ended up getting a bladder infection that kept the pain going. The gas pain last several days and will go away. Best wishes and good luck to October bandsters!

1 week to go! Pre op at surgen is in 30 min then off to the hospital for preop testing!

Congrats I got mine yesterday the 16th in San Antonio Tx. Only advise follow the instructions and walk.

Congrats!

HI there! For my first post I am proud to announce my surgery date is 10/29. Kind of nervous but very excited!

I am being banded tomorrow as well in FL. I am so excited!

I just got my phone call from the Hospital my Arrival time there is 7 AM. So my mom has to come over to get my girls up for school. 11 1/2 hours until I arrive there. I bought some post op stuff today. Plain Greek yogurt, sugar free Jello and pudding, broth, Skim Milk, Tomato Soup and Cream of chicken Soup. Bring it on. I will be up until at least 11 PM tonight to watch my American Horror Story. Wow I can't believe the day is almost here < 24 hrs.

Hi Latty, congratulations! And you, too KTigger -- big day here at last. I can't wait to be there a few weeks from now. Well, you know what I mean -- really we all can't wait until it's over and first fill has taken place, etc. Best wishes for speedy recovery(ies) all!

Hello,
Getting my band tomorrow in AZ, excited, nervous and relieved that it's finally going to be a reality. Thank you to everyone for their postings, it makes it easier for us newbies who don't know what to expect!

I did and never needed to use any pain meds.

Best wishes to you! I have about 14 hours till surgery!!

Hello everyone! Was banded today! Feeling so so, having bad gas pain and nausea when I sit up. Hoping both of these thing go away soon! Glad to be on the other side though, can't wait for my journey to start!

My Dr says first day/same day of surgery Clear Liquids then for two weeks post op full liquid diet. I was actually confused because they gave me my pain meds in pill form. I guess they will go through since I won't have a fill in my band at first

I'm in bandland! I'm def a little sore but it's not too bad! Thought i would send an update. NoW for a little rest... Update tomorrow!

Pre op Appointment done!!! This AM my Dr's scale surprised me down 13 lbs on my pre op diet.
