I was banded on Friday the 13th. I have had hardly any pain. But I think that was becauseI was told to walk 10 minutes every hourI was a wake and make sure one of those walks are outside. Trust me thats a tough one when its 113 out here. I also do my breathing every hour. I amnow staying onmyown and I feel good. I had lost 17 lbs pre op. 6 lbs since friday. So yes it is very worth it. I would not have been able to losethat weight without it.

I was banded on Friday the 13th as well. I havent had hardly any pain. I just feel like my muscles have been stretched. How soon can you sleep in a bed, because the recliner is getting to be a pain.

I am 3 days post op and I am feeling really well. Try protein shakes and V-8 juice.

I had elevated liver enzymes.

Hello everyone! Due to my stupid doctors offices my surgery has been postponed from Monday the 9th till Friday the 13th because they require blood workexactly one week before surgery. Its one obsticle after another! It also means more days on this stupid liquid diet whichseems the most strictests I have encounter. But this will make me a stronger person! Thanks for letting me vent! Jackie

I am still in my pre-op phase but I love popcorn. Has anyone been able to eat popcorn?

Hello everyone, Today I am on my day 6 of my liquid diet and I was doing so well till this weekend. On friday I had some of the chicken noodle soup that had veggies. The calories on it were the same as two shakes. And then yesterday I had two pieces low calorie/low carb bread. Now I am feeling really bad. But today is a new day and I am at work so that makes things easier. I have 7 more days till I am banded. And my pre op is tomorrow, I pray everything goes ok and I didnt mess up my surgery date.

Thanks everyone for your support. I will get through it so I just weighed myself and I have lost 5lb since my pre vegas weight. My last supper sydrome was a memorial day weekend to vegas and ate buffets just about every day so I know I had gained a couple of lbs. So I am thinking I have really lost 7-9lbs. I am so excited.

So I am on my 4th day of my pre surgery liquid diet and I am not going to lie it sucks. But I have gotten used to not eating. Its just that smells get me lol. My liquid idet seems to be more restrictive then others. All I can have is: 3-5 Protein shakes that are low in sugar and carbs and less then 200 cal. sugar free koolaid crystal light black coffee unsweetened tea Plus Vitimans. I am not able to have Soup or any broth. I am not sure on Jello or pudding. Has anyone else been on such a restrictive liquid diet?

I totally get the waiting thing my doct faxed my appeal like on the 10th of April. Got a letter from the doctors saying they received on the 29th of April and found on on the 19 of May. All the while checking my mailbox everyday for news.

I am using True Results in scottsdale they have been very helpful

My date is June 9th. After jumping thru so many hoops and going through an appeal I finally got approved!! I am going thru True Results with Dr. Sohoni!!! I am in Arizona

Hello everyone! I finally got approved after working on this for 6 months. Alittle of my story. I have been big my whole life. In October I started this process. I got denied in February because I had gained weight.(My place never said I had to lose weight just had to show up to my appointments). So I appealed it and got approval, the letter came on May 19th. I scheduled my surgery fo June 9th. I am so excited and scared at the same time. I feel a big weight off of my shoulders.

Good luck I hope everything turns out ok
