ohhh...well that sounds like a lot of fun....will look into it and get back in touch with you after i join... i can start exercising next week....

oh and congrats on everything goin well on the 9th!!!

Tell me about the zuma classes...what are they? I am exercise illiterate...lol

I WAS BANDED ON JULY 8TH. I WEIGHED 256 ON SURGERY DAY, TODAY I WAS 249...SO 7 LBS SINCE SURGERY...

Sounds like the Norton's guys have lots stricter restrictions than over at SME Bariatrics...interesting...

I only had to do clear liquids for 2 days, now I am on Full liquids for 1 week--like creamy soup, yogurt....thats what I been eating most. I can't even finish a whole yogurt...that is CRAZY!!! LOL I like it though...After Tuesday I can start pureed---ughhhh

Hey-- Had my band this Tuesday 7/08/08 with Dr. Schuster...I agree to call Lana or Debbie..they are great---the number is 361-6059 to the Bariatrics at Sts. Mary and Elizabeth. I actually work at that hospital as a nurse and I have had a great experience thus far....Dr schuster has been really good with me.

Although Iwork there, it is gonna be hard for me to join their program. I work 12 hr shifts, so by the time I gotta go get my son from the sitter and I live in Bardstown...so its not gonna happen...I am gonna join the y

I was banded on Tuesday and had the same experience...still do a little, but I agree, walking helped better than any amount of gas x. Everytime I felt that way, I would walked until I belched like a man...lol. Than all was better...good luck!!!

Thanks everyone!!! My surgery went very smoothly on the 8th. No problems at all. I actually had surgery at 8am and was discharged by 1030---that was crazy, but I was up and walking, peed and took my xray very quickly. There was once after I drank some juice that I thought I was gonna vomit, I went all pale they said, but I just belched like a man for like 5 minutes and felt soooooooooooo much better. The first night I did a lot of walking to relieve the gas pains. Yesterday was better, adn today I just feel a little sore. I got to eat some creamy soup and yogurt today---I was AMAZED at how little it took to FILL me up...I was stuffed with 1/2 cup soup, and 1/2 of the yogurt....thats great!!!!!!

sthom01---thats great!!! maybe I met you at pre-op testing on June 27th??? well anyway good luck
