My husband and I both had lap band surgery in November. We have different bands. I have the Lapband and my husband has the realize band. He can tolerate more foods, but I have lost more weight. I hope that little tidbit helps. Good Luck. It is the best thing that I have ever done.

Try to have someone Burp you like a baby, by patting your back. Believe it or not, it REALLY worked for me.

Bebers I feel better already. LOL. the surgery was a breeze. Good Luck with your surgery on the 16th.

I felt the same way, I was just banded on Monday. I can tell you that your feelings are valid. I remember Sunday night before my surgery I was a wreck. Nothing could calm me down. Try not to do that to yourself. I wish I didn't. I will tell you that when I woke up in recovery I laughed a how worked up I got. All that wasted energy. Also, you may want to ask your Dr. for something to keep you calm. Remember, This is a good thing! :)Good Luck!

I was banded on Monday the 12th, my DH is getting Banded on the 21st. I think it is bettr to do it together too. I wish you all the best. Good Luck, and enjoy the road to being healthy!:clap2:

Thank you so much! Good Luck with your banding!!!

Thank you! I needed to hear that!

Ok, I was Banded on Monday, Nov 12th. I am starting to panic, and second guess my decision. Please tell me that I am not alone in thinking this. Also, today is the first day that I am left alone up to my own devices, I am praying that I will not fall pray to my old habits. I am afraid to fail. :help:

you everyone for all of the help and support!

I was banded on November 12th, I am wondering how long I should wait before I try to sleep on my side or stomach?:help:

I was just banded yesterday (Nov 12th). I was a wreck the day before, and I have to tell you it really wasn't bad at all. My surgery was at 9:30 am, and I was back home but 2:30. As for the gas, it is a pain (no pun intended) but walking really seems to help you feel better. I wish you the best, and try to stay calm. I wish I would have.

I just had my surgery November 12th and I did not have a catheter. I wish you the best. :clap2:

I am going on Nov 12th the panic is setting in. How about you? I am sure we are going to be great. but I am still a little nervous.
