Really. You have had your first one already? Did you get any local anesthesia, or not?

How are you doing? I am really hungry now!! Ready to eat some food!

I see that you all are discussing fills. I go for my first on 11608. Are you saying that it hurts? I got the impression from my doctor and from the staff that it really doesn't hurt, that you just can't be afraid of needles. Hmmmmm

Hi everyone, Working at our hardware store today after working weds, thurs and fri at my job. Surgery on 10/6, returned to work on 10/15. I hope to have PS in a couple of years if needed, but since I was and am self-pay, I can't afford it until then, besides, the PS said to wait at least a year and to make sure I had lost all the weight I was going to lose.

Hi, I am on liquids. Had my surgery 10/6/08, but have been on liquids since 9/23/08. Protein shakes, Jello, etc. Two more weeks to go. Really looking forward to something solid. Actually, can't wait until December when I can finally eat some chicken or turkey.:laugh:

Hi, I am just joining in again. I wrote in September before my surgery on 10/6/08. I am really tired of liquids, but I have lost 17 pounds since 9/23/08 when I started my protein shakes.:laugh:

Hi, I'm a newbie, too, as of tonight. My surgery is scheduled for 10/6/08, and I am nervous. I see my surgeon on 9/23 for my pre-op. Again, ready, but nervous.

I have my surgery scheduled for 10/6/08. I will see the doctor again on 9/23/08 for my pre-op and to begin the pre-op diet. I am a little nervous, :crying:but ready to get it done. I did ask my surgeon if I was the oldest person he had ever done the lap band on, he laughed and said, ...definitely not... :cursing: I am really hoping that this will work for me. I was thin when I was younger and have just gained more and more weight over the years. I also have co-morbidities of high BP, high cholesterol, and sleep apnea. Wish me luck with the pre-op, the surgery, and the hunger afterward. I am really dreading the liquids only for such a long time.
