  1. I was banded on 10/25 and have not had eegular bowel movments since. I tlkd to the dr and he suggested metamucil daily and miralax. Neither have been working. I talked to a friend who suggested pinnaple juice, sugar free candy or prune juice. Still no relief any suggestions im very uncomfortable and want to get regular again.

  17. Went for pre-op on friday 10-18 and final surgical clearance. I received a copy of my fmla paperwork and was suprised to see the Dr put me out for 2 weeks. I was only expecting 1 based on our prior discussions and what most people have said.

  22. My pre-op is today! Wish me luck for signing the final paperwork and weight in.
  23. I am 10 days out and feeling anxious! Im trying hard to keep up the liquid diet I've been on since Oct 4th. I believe if I can make it theu this ill be great on the other side. The migraine is bad and I hate that I cant take my meds any suggestions?
  24. I'm on day 3 of Pre-op diet and doing ok. I have a mild headache but my husband says I'm grumpy. I guess mood changes are normal with everything we are going thru.
