  1. Oh honney, let me tell you, I was banded Friday Feb 1, in Mexico. On Sunday Morning Igot on a plane and wallked "miles and miles" through an airport then another plane, then more miles through an airport then drove 3 hours to home where I had to go to work to put a payroll out that day. After a C-section this will be a cake walk. Not bad at all. Just walk off the gas (the worst part) and the rest is gravey. I think alot of the fear comes from giving up out biggest comfort, (food), I did not realize how i depended on food to comfort me. I am now learning to love this little band of mine and I havent even had my first fill yet. Good luck Bonnie
  2. I have been reading these and I must say i am a little concerned. My doc has no pre op diet and i have beenbanded 1 week. 1 Week liquids post op and mushies one week then to fish for a week
  3. I found your comments very interesting. My bmi is over 50 and I to have to explain to some why This is all I have left. I was telling a good friend about the restrictions of being this big and he was shocked. He had never concidered movies and resteraunts or travel to be a broblem for us. I am to be banded on Friday Feb 1. Most friends nervous for me but most excited. Some not so much..
