banded_jem got a reaction from barbie1978 in Banded Yesterday!
I was banded yesterday- exactly 24 hours ago! And I must admit I am not in as much pain as I thought. Did feel sick last night but got an anti sickness injection and felt much better.
What did you all have day 1 post op? I was thinking of a peppermint tea and half a shake to start. Will that be too much? Xx

Hi Jem I had a band fitted in 2006 over 9 years ago and although times are hard I wouldn't swop it for anything. I lost over 5 stone & have my life back. If I can help in anyway don't hesitate to contact me. X

Congratulations -- so happy for you. I love, love, love my band. Definitely not the easy way out (whatever that is) but, boy is my life easier having the appetite monster off of my back. The links below in my signature helped me understand more about the band; maybe they will help you, too. And we are here to share our experiences -- keep us posted!
I am two years out and feel the joy of making good food decisions without a lot of angst. I just eat good healthy food in much smaller portions and at appropriate intervals. Sure helps not being hungry! Good luck with all.

Hi Everyone!
I am getting my band next week! It's came around so quickly! Had my pre-op yesterday and all went well!
I suppose I am really excited but not nervous yet. It's freaking me out more that I am not nervous.
I have only told my close friends and family about the band but I told my work I am getting my gallbladder out! I hate lying but the people at my work are so judgemental.
I weighed in at 258lbs. (can't do KG weight haha)
I can hear people now saying "you took the easy way out" but I am finding nothing about this easy!
I think continuing to eat the way I am and ignoring the fact that I am obese would be easy.
Have any of you been asked if you have had WLS and what have you said?
