I was just banded yesterday so I am sort of planning ahead, my question is how did you do with spice and things like tabasco. I love mexican and other really spicy foods I am just wondering if any of you had any problems eating these once banded? also my doctor said I could have a smoothie did any of you use yogurt or fruit in smoothie the first few days after surgery?

Hello to all of you. Your well wishes were really appriciated. I had my surgery at 11:00 yesterday, and was home in my bed 3:30. Slept most of the afternoon, I took some Advil last night and then this morning.All I could get down yesterday was a glass of tomato juice, but this morning I had two cups of black coffee and I have already taken a walk around the block. I am really feeling pretty good. I will try to have a protein shake this morning to see how that works. Thanks again for all the well wishes.

I am using Doctor Jayaseelan,so far he has been great and the staff at his office are just awesome.There are 4 women that have the band and the results they have has are incredible. They have their photo diary for new patients to look at. One of the girs was like a size 24 and she is now a 6 in 14 months. I really can't beleive that I will be able to walk into Macy's and buy regular clothes, but the women in Dr. J's office have all been there and done it.

I can't wait. I am really starving tonight. I am fighting myself not to eat a box of m&m's or something. I have been basically on liquids for 6 days. It will be so great not to want to eat.

I am geeting banded tomorrow my Doctor is in Dallas and I will be paying for the surgery myself. The total amount is 15K plus 1 year of follow-up. You can e-mail me if you would like more info.

willI feel like eating tomorrow after surgery. I am suppose to have the band put in at 11:00AM. I know I will only be allowed to have Liquids but I am wondering if I will even want anything?

I just spoke to the Doctor who will put me under tomorrow I am a little freaked out he told me I will have a breathing tube. I wish he would not have told me that. Is this common? I will have my surgery in dallas. I know it will change my life for the better but I am getting a little nervous. I have not told anyone about what I am doing except my husband. Let me know how everything goes the day after surgery.

I am getting banned in 2 days. I am very excited, but I am having a hard time. My Doctor has me on all clear liquids I have been on these for 5 days now ..I am so hungry I am worried how I will stay on liquids after the surgery. Did others stay on liquids before the surgery?
