<p>Hey all,</p> <p>Had my band done 15 Aug. Had 8 holes in the stomach walls replaced at the same time so sore still. Off my Metformin (no sugar in Diet). So bloos sugars stays in the 90 to 100 range. Bad bruising on left side of waist large and purple pehaps the port area but no real pain does burn when I get up and down. No problem with the liquid diet the protein bullets working for me so far. Hopfully everybody is doi9n well. Was it worth it ?? So far yes..<img src="http://www.LapBandTalk.com/images/smilies/ranger.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Ranger" smilieid="301" class="inlineimg" /></p>

Hey all new here. I am a 46 year old male weighing in at 280 looking to get to 215 according to my doctor. My surgery is scheduled for Weds and I am a bit nervous as the day approaches. I am also having a hernia repair (the first sttempt failed) at the same time. So tell me honestly the good and the bad what can I expect the first few days? When will a normal routine begin and lastly what emotions and problems appeared as far as medical and emotional. I intend to keep a log I really want to be able to help others that come behind me and I figure if I keep a log then they may get a view from the patient as well as the doctor. Please let me know thanks:ranger:
