I was banded on April 28th. I had next to no pain. I never took the perscription pain medicince or liquid tylonal ever. It was more of an uncomfortable feeling. I did have some gas around the 3rd day so I took gas X strips and felt better instantly. I was real scared about the pain but there really hasn't been much.

Hi Tara Bell. I live in South OC and was just banded (4/28) by Dr. Oliak in Orange. i was very happy with the care I received. If you want a second opinion, try Dr. Oliak. The surgery was a breeze, much easier than I ever imagined. Now, if I could just get off these shakes and have some real foods, I'll be really happy.

My doctor does not have me on any kind of a pre-op diet. Nothing. Nada. I'll be on liquids the day before surgery after 3:00 pm. I keep reading about people who are on a week and 2 weeks of liquids only before surgery. Could it be because my BMI is not extremely high? It's 39. Am I going to be OK for surgery???
