Good Luck tomorrow to Seminole, Marianne TN and Stitchy. I wish you all the best see you on the banded side! DeAnn

Marcy, I was banded on the 4 th of May. I wanted to let you know that there is some pain. The worse for me is the gas:faint: . They will fill your stomach with gas to do the surgery. It has to release and has a tendencies to hide under the rib cage which is painful. I have been using Gas X and it does help. Other than that pain I have one port area that is sore. I do have to sleep on my back and I am a side sleeper. But its getting better. I am doing things today such as laundry, made dinner for the family and went for walks out side. ( Walking will help with the gas.) I'm hoping by Sunday I will be done with the gas pains and be able to host Mothers day lunch at my home. Good luck on you band journey, DeAnn

JEN, I will be thinking of you.. I"m on day 3 post op and doing good~ . We will be welcoming you tomorrow!

Congrats Susan, I can't wait to go by a new outfit. I did find a sweat suit in my closet that I had bought two years ago and put it on yesterday and it fit..the jacket is almost to big. I am sure fighting the gas pains today and full. I can't seem to get my Protein down or Water. I am trying!!!!!

Hello, Checking in again. I doing good. Having a bit of a time getting my Water down. I just tried some V8 juice and it went down. But was wondering when you all started back on your Protein. I don't remember what the Dr said. Maybe I should call them. I know they said to wait four days to return to medication. Today I feel worse than yesterday. I am trying to cut back on the pain meds. but think maybe a bit early. My DH came down with the flu yesterday so I was keeping away from him. He said he is feeling much better this afternoon. will I"m going to go for a walk and see if I can get this gas a moving. Talk to you all soon. DeAnn

Quick question.. how soon did you start back on your Protein Drinks?

Welcome to band land. I was just banded yesterday and had started my journey in March. AT the time I went to my first appointment I was 352. My hightest weight was 380 I am now down to 315. I am so exited about my new life. I also was self pay. My first goal will be 16 lbs to be under 300. I hope to achieve it by May 31. I wish you the best of luck on your journey. And again welcome to band-land!

I'm BANDED!!! it went really well yesterday. I had surgery between 11:00 and 2:00 PM not sure I was out! but I did great. I had my 52 1 oz shot glasses of ice Water, apple juice, and three Popsicles. I passed the Upper GI with no problems. Then was sent home by 7:30 last night. I had a great night. Slept in my own bed. I thought I was going to have to sleep in the recliner. Got up early due to my back hurting but other than that I doing great! I am now sipping on my water. I will update later today but as for now Doing great! DeAnn

Hi, I use to own and grew up at Firgrove Day care across the street for Curves. I am having surgery done by Dr. Srikanth @ Surgical Center for Weigh Loss in Tacoma. The surgery will be done at St. Francis Hospital. I am getting more and more excited! less than 48 hrs.

Good luck to todays bander's!!! Congrats to TXpeach I'm glad it went so well. I wish you a speedy recovery. Looking so forward to Thursday. I was hoping I get to come home but it sounds like I one of the later cases so I will spend the night....

Here is our newest toy! when the sun out it's top is down.. it is a fun 2004 SSR. I have to say it's my hubby's but I get two days of the week. We also have a 2000 Chevy Tahoe,

Thanks I going to try to figure out how to make the picture smaller and find the picture of the other cars !

As soon as I can figure out how to edit my pictures I will post our cars to drive.

Triciak, congrats on the onlanders! I can not wait to see that day. I think I was in 8th grade when I weighted that! LET ME TELL YOU THAT WAS A LONG TIME AGO!

I went to my last weigh in today and I was down. I made the 2 pound loss this weekend and with the 4 earlier I am down 6 lbs from last week. That puts be at 36 lbs since I joined LBT! I'm so excited. I am down near 60 pounds since I started my LB journey!

CONGRATS TO ALL THE BIG LOSERS THIS WEEK! :clap2:

Tina, I live in Graham I would love to get together with you. I will be banded on Thursday! I work out at the South Hill Curves M-W-F

I lived on SouthHill all my life until 3 yrs ago when I moved to Graham!

I want to wish everyone in MAY a happy banding day! I will be banded on Thursday! I have been on a liquid diet since last Monday and have lost a great amount of weight this past week. Tomorrow is weigh in an I know they will be surprised. Now I'm getting from some people, do you think you really need the surgery? if you have done so will. THATS my problem. I can lose weigh easily. But the second I go off I will gain it all back in a month. I am really scared to every do that again. That is the reason I need extra help with the band tool. I am so looking forward to Thursday. I am hoping to be one of the first on the schedule. My Dr. does not tell you until you get to the hospital. So good luck to you all and I will be thinking of you all this week.

Information on its way!

I will be banded on May 4th I've been on a week of liquids. I was given the name of this company from our patient advocate to order my Protein from. It is good. so far I have had, Tropical,chocolate,strawberry,vanilla. www.Enjoyhealth.com it is in Seattle area.

Prayers sent for them and their family

I'm in too! 322 but I'm on Clear Liquids I will do it ,

Nope no photoshop! just lots of Water and fertilizer!

thank you ! I love it. The only problem in on the other side of the fence is a Dog Kennel. And it is noisy. It makes it really hard to enjoy it all the time. I keep hoping the land sells and houses get built . I can deal with people better than dogs barking 24/7! ( sorry been working out side today can you tell I've had enough of dogs barking!) any way! I do get humming birds. I have added three more feeders and I have to fill them at least once a week. I would like to find room to plant more stuff but I don't want it to be overcrowded. We move here about 3.5 yrs ago and it was all wooded. So we have done a lot. I'm out planting my dahlias today. We are reseeding our front yard tonight. It took a beating with the weather this winter. Were hoping to have it in shape by June.

As for Kassey Kane Lane..... Uh you should see our garages.. My DH has a complete Nascar garage ! Most of the stuff is Big E and Little E as he is a big fan of both. Our other garage is done with his classic cars, we have several Chevy's that we show. I am sure getting excited about next week. That is one reason I'm trying to get as much done as I can now. I don't know how I will feel afterwords to do yard work.

You wont be that far behind me will you! how exciting!.
