yes it is normal to feel that way, you are enbarking on a whole new lifestyle and to no be nervous would be weird. I had my surgery in TJ and felt that way all day the day of surgery. Afterwards I was releived that all the worry was for nothing. This is the best thing I have ever done for myself. Try to relax and enjoy the ride. :nervous

I am 1 month out and woke up with this pain this morning. Based on the location it feels like my band is pushing on my diaphragm, and it is more painful when I beathe deeply. I have not noticed it getting worse when I eat. I felt the same kind of pain right after surgery when I was full of gas. I hope this goes away soon, as it really is uncomfortable.

I too was banded on the 24th, I dream of meat any kind, fish, chicken, ground beef. I have started on mashed potatoes, they help but are not as satisfying as they were the first day. Cant wait til soft foods are allowed. I just keep telling myself that since I lived on yogurt and water for a week pre-op I can do anything!!

You siad you are having surgery on Monday in Mexico where and by whom? I am scheduled for Monday in TJ by Dr Alessandrini

I am scheduled for september 24th and looking for someone scheduled within a day or twoof that date to compare notes with.

:whoo:I am scheduled September 24th Dr Alessandrini in TJ counting the minutes!!

DO NOT DEAL WITH THESE PEOPLE!! They lied to me stating that they would finance $ 2,000 of my surgery and when I gave them a deposit told me the sales man was new and had been wrong. They then proceeded to refund only a portion of my deposit, they kept $500 even though the reason I canceled was them lying to me and I did not sign any disclosures stating that $500 was non-refundable. I plan to take them to small claims court, but this is a long, relatively expensive procedure and no guarentee of winning. Anyway, just wanted to warn everyone to stay away from these liars and theives!!!!
