my Dr said 1 week-- I have coffee all time.

Ok, this may sound silly has anyone exerienced tightness with their band after they have flown? I am now traveling for work and fly flown for work twice and both times I am not able to eat solid foods for a couple of days and if I try to I become sick can't hold any food down. I have not heard of this before. Has anyone experienced this before?

HI guys.. I am two days post surgery have some sorenes and tired all the time. the good news is I don't have the gas tha every talks about. I finding that walking does help take the pain away.

HI all, I just wanted everyone to know that I am scheduled to have my Surgery on Nov 8th at CMC in Manchester NH.. I am so excited but kind of nervious to have surgery.. I am so happy to start my new life. I know its going to be hard.. One thing I am very nervious about is the diet constrictions for the 1st three weeks. Did everyone find this the toughest part?

<p>hi everyone, Just got my surgery date and now awaiting to here from my Insurance company.. My Dr's office does not think it will be a problem. any last minute advice?</p>

Hi,

I am very excited about having the procedure done. I am looking forward to a new healthier lifestyle in every aspect of my life. any suggestions on what I should do after my surgery?

Congrats on your start to a healthier you ! Let me tell you it feels great !

You could definitely lose that much weight that fast. Trust me ..... just look down at my stats. I am down over 120 lbs since 4/27/07. But remember the band is a tool and you need to work that tool to make it move faster. Push for the fills when you feel you need them. Its your body and you know what you need. Exercise exercise exercise , I could not say that enough. You need to do as much as you can and the weight will fall off with the bands assistance. When I first started I could barely do a mile walking and now I do 5 miles a day at least 5-6 days week.

Don't be afraid to ask any of us guys questions either. We are here for each other.

Thanks everyone, I go for my final consult on Oct 1oth and than wait for the insurance company.. The good news is the Dr office says that Matthew Thronton (bcbcs NH) approves very quickly.

<p>HI guys, very new to this. I met with my surgren today and had our 1st meeting. She stated that if I were to go on the band that there is a very good possiblity with the shake drinks 2 weeks before surgery and after that I could loose a good 45-50 pounds within two months. I was shocked when she said this as i was concerned with loosing all that weight right off. has anyone else lost this much weight? were you concerned?</p>

I am scheduled for surgery at the end of Oct. My Dr. told me today that because of my body type and that I tend to loose weight very quickly that there is a chance I may loose about 40-50 pounds in a 12 week time frame. has anyone else Dr. told them this? Can anyone shed light on what I should expect right after surgery?
