Hi, I'm due to have my lap band on the 22nd September . I'm struggling with liver shrinking diet here.

BTW, congratulations for the successful of.

GOOD LUCK! I was banded 9/11/15 and the only thing that I can complain about is... I got thrush from the antibiotic they gave me during surgery and the shoulder pain which I think is from the port. If you need to chat I'm here

That's so awesome! I walked around my house I don't think i could make it outside yet since I'm still taking pain meds every 5 hours. Totally random question have you had a bowel movement yet? If so was it painful

I have not had a bowel movement and it's been six days-I assume I should do a stool softener or has it taken everyone this long?

Oh man. Are you taking anything for it like apple juice or milk of magnesia. I think I'm going to take apple juice today just to get it started. Lol

A little sore but doing really good. Take my dogs out for a walk every 2 hours. I am hungry though

What is your status

You had surgery and your already waking outside. Wow your brave. I'm okay just a little in pain. Surprisingly not hungry at all. And that's saying something for me lol

Yeah !!! I had the sleeve yesterday !!!

How are you feeling today

I was banded yesterday surgery went really well. Just in a bit of pain today. Good luck to everyone:)

So my surgery is tomorrow. And I'm not scared. I am so excited. I'm ready to begin my new life. Any others banded around this week,last week, or next week

Hello banders

My surgery is tomorrow

Did you have to stay the night after your lapband surgery?

Best of luck! I'm the 17th..please let me know how you're doing. Looking forward to staying connected!!

I sure will. I have a class or something tomorrow. Possibly preop

I messaged you on Facebook

I am on Facebook but I'm trying to keep this hush hush from people.

How do you feel now? Any pain

Hello all

September 11th is my band date, and honestly I am not nervous or anything I am so ready! I started my liver shrink diet about 4 days ago maybe more maybe less.

What should I do to make the best of my band and do you all have any tips for me. I need a accountability partner to speak with. Thanks!

I'm getting banded on September 11th! Let's keep in touch!
