Hey Jenny, Welcome. I get banded tomorrow and can hardly wait. I also have UHC and it went very smoothly. Also it did not take very long. Good luck and this board is wonderful Sallyjo

This story is for those who care to read this.When I wonder how in the world I am going to make it through my ywo weeks of liquids(started today, banding tomorrow) I just think of my brother whom I was extremly close to. I lost him last July to ALS. For about the last three months he could not eat nor swallow anthing but a sip of water and a couple of sips of ensure. The only things ALS does not touch is your feel sense and smell and hearing. He had the best attitude of anyone I have ever seen- from the time he was diagnosed until he left us. So if you are having a tough time- stop and think. At least we can have different liquids and as much as we want.The best to all. I look so forward to being a bandster. Sallyjo:clap2:

I guess I'm lucky I love all types of fish, but when we put seasoning on them they make me very thirsty so what do you guys do about that. Heather don't forget I get banded the day before you. Good luck.

Hi Wanda, Welcome I love this site. I will be banded Tuesday and have found so much good info from this site and funny also. How are you doing on the band?

Have a break- have a Frances:faint:

I have UHC and they approved mine and refills also. Will be banded 4-25. Mine is also PPO. Make em diffy up and show you why not. Good luck.

Congrats:clap2: I am just one week away from being banded.Can't hardly wait.Thanks for the tips, I know I will need all I can get. Keep up the good work.

Hey Welcome:girl_hug: I live in Texas and will be banded on the 25th. I went to a seminar on the 1st of April and have my pre-op This Thursday. Don't know why some take so long. I researched for about three months and decided I was ready. I think I might be the oldest on this board. 62, Good luck and if I can be of farther help let me know.

No I claim the best husband ever -lol. Going on 26 years and getting better. This wonderful man has never said a word about my weight. Just loves me all the same I am doing this for myself first and then for him. He has never seen me small so look oot

Happy Easter Everyone.My band date is getting closer 4-25.The only reason I am nervous is how will I know what I can eat and not eat. Is it just trial and error? I can make it through the liquids and the mushies but what about when you can have solids. I love my fruit,chicken and fish.Could some of you please re-assure me and tell me some things you eat. This is the greatest site.

If banding is all your husband hears about for three months before being banded-you might become a bandster.4-25 is the big day
