And yes, I am so dam glad I did this too. Hats off to ALL of you out there. Gail

Greetings from the Space Coast. Newly banded by Dr Mark Fusco @ Lifeshape.net, Melbourne FL. Surgery was Monday 4/28, I'm feeling great, incisions are starting to itch already, my first post op is 5/8. I am on liquids until Sunday, and then I go to creamy stuff, with protein shakes. I too am about OVER the liquids too. I've had alot of burping, something I hardly ever did. I managed to get my ticker, but OMG, please don't ask me how. Now I can't figure out how to change it as I change. Keep posting and keep up the good work.:wub: Gail

Banded Monday 4/28 and already my incision sites are itching me and driving me crazy. Not sure what to do either, except itch them gently. You feeling good otherwise?

Hey everyone... I'm banded, was done at noon yesterday, and was back home at 6:30, some minor discomfort, was up walking around, haven't had too much gas "YET" Have not needed to use any of the pain meds that they give you. My after care nurse told me I was a light weight when it came to pain meds... they gave me a liquid shot of it yesterday, and slepted for like an hour and a half. LOL Hope everyone else is doing good and has a successful banding too.

Good luck to you too. let us know how you are doing. Happy New Birthday to U.

getting ready to head to the surgery center, surgery at noon today. Just can't wait for it to be over with, so I can get on with my new me. I'll be letting you all know how I am making out, thanks again for all the best wishes and good lucks.... Gail

Congrats! I like you must have had a very frustrating journey to approval. Getting any information from the surgeons office was like pulling teeth. I would not even have made my pre- op appointment if I would not have called and asked to know what was going on, and they told me I had an appointment on the 17th, knowing already my surgery was the 28th. I was fit to be tied, and DID NOT want to start off on the wrong foot with the doctor operating on ME! I'm st to go, anxious, nervous, and full of all the other emotions too. I'm ready to start this new chapter in my life. GOOD LUCK, and a wonderful BLOG.

Goodmorning Whaletail, Hope that you are starting to feel better and closing up nicely. Enjoy the new day

Wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PIP1973, I think that is great! Keep up the good work. I like seeing success stories along with what everyoe is going thru. I flew thru all my pre-op testing, and I told my BFF, that I was rounding 3rd heading for home plate, I can actually see the light at the end of the tunnell. Keep those messages coming

Thank you and good luck to you!

I have just a little over 2 weeks until my surgery, April 28th! I started my journey July of last year and boy has it been a roller coaster ride getting there. Looking for any kind of feed back from others, once I learn how to navigate around this web site. My doctor is Dr. Mark Fusco/ Melbourne, Fl. :thumbup:
