Congratulations on getting a date! Good luck!

Hello Wendy!!!!

Hahahahahaha. I meant 18 since surgery. Now its 20 since.. :clap2: Im actually a little concerned bec its so much weight in a short amount of time! Not complaining though.

Well, good luck and keep us posted!!!

Hello! Congrats on getting a date for surgery. There are TONS of great threads here that'll give you information about the procedure, recovery, fills, food, etc etc etc. I suggest checking out threads in General Discussion. Especially the BEFORE and AFTER pictures! That'll definitely motivate you!! I got my band Nov 23rd. As you'll see on my sig line, Ive lost 30 pounds. Its exciting!! Where are you getting banded? Are you on a pre-op diet?

Welcome Carole! Good luck!!!!!

I didnt realize there were groups by month! Anyway, my fiance and I were banded on the 23rd. I have lost 12 lbs pre-op, another 12 lbs since surgery. 30lbs gone forever! :clap2: Its really exciting, and I cant wait to start an exercise routine. (Did I just say that??!?!? lol) My fiance's loss is a little slower compared to mine, which I think is odd but we're not complaining! :biggrin1: I hope to hear from everyone!

Michiganer and Rosie: Sending you two positive energy!!!!! Im sure you'll do great!

Hello all! Im from Melbourne, FL. Banded by Dr Aceves, Mexicali, Mx. Any recommendations on fill docs in Melb/Cocoa Beach/Palm Bay area? I'm open to driving to Orlando area as well. I do prefer a doc who does fluro. Thanks in advance!!!!

Hey cagstorm, Largest one is my port incision at an inch and a half.

Hello everyone! Not sure if this is where I should post this but, there are a lot more members on here than anywhere else. So, what causes a port to flip?? How do you avoid this? Thanks in advance for the info.

Hey Kimberly! I got banded on the 23rd as well. Im feeling great! I can sleep on my side and all. My thing is... Im not hungry. Also, Im a Massage Therapist. Going back to work on Saturday. Im a little concerned... Anwyway, good luck on your journey!!

Thank you!!!!

Hello Jennypoo, Well, we are finally back home. We were on the red eye from San Diego to Florida. Oy. Got home about noon. Showered, cleaned my stitches, got into bed and.... passed out! Just had some chicken broth. Yum. (I still think its the weirdest thing - enjoying broth... Just my first few days maybe??) You know, I bought 2 packs of Gas X, knowing that a lot of people here used it to help with the annoying gas afterwards, but... it didnt work for me. Finished a whole pack within a couple of days and even more gassy. Oh well. Just weird like that I guess. Good luck to you! 11 days! woohoo! :Banane11:

I am now a bandster!!! woohoo! Thanks everybody!!!!! Good luck to everyone!!

Hello everyone!!! Its about 2pm here in Mexicali and Im feeling great! Yesterday was a pain in the butt! I realized I have a LOW tolerance for pain. Dr Aceves, Dr Campos and staff are AMAZING. Thanks WASa! Thanks jennypoo. Oh, and for our "last dinner", we ate at the restaurant at the hotel. My fiance had curry Soup and rib eye steak, and I had ceasar salad and penne gelosia. Man, was it gooooood. We are now officially bandsters!!!! woot woot!

Thanks so much!!!! I had to update my sig line. I lost 12 pounds!!!!!! **happy dance** yeah!

Its about 6pm in Mexicali. My fiance and I are at the hotel, trying to calm our nerves and starting to get really excited. Dr Aceves, Dr Campos, Ernesto (chaffeur) and Lucy are amazing! So glad to be here and on our way to a better life!

Thanks everybody! Im so inspired. In just 3 days, i get banded.
