Don't give up!

I was just banded on Tueday and have all kinds of noises, is this normal? we've been kinda laughing about it..it can get really loud!

I was banded on 12/2 and have been battleling the hiccups? anyone else have this problem? I'm on full liquids but don't really have a desire for soup yet. I'm a little nervous to eat lol or rather drink anything thick. I had a protien shake today and I felt a little sick after

I was banded yesterday and would agree to drink as much water as possible the night before, it also helps with the IV to not be too dehydrated. I took some lip balm with me to the hospital that helped me keep my lips moist. I can't think of anything else I did above what my Dr told me. I did follow my pre-op diet and am told that's why I'm doing so well post-op.

I'm so glad you asked that! I just had my band surgery yesterday and haven't heard that term before. sounds like something I want to avoid!

Thank you! I have an HMO so my out of pocket expense is only $150. Call and find out if Medicare cover it you might be suprised. My surgery went very well, I feel great!

I hung up notes all around my house NOTHING tastes as good as SKINNY feels This worked for me, every time I went into the kitchen I saw the note, took a deep breath and walked back out. You can do this!

SuzeQ, how are you feeling? I also had my surgery yesterday and am amazed at how good I feel!! My surgery was at 8am and I was home around 11:30. I'm still a little sore but otherwise feel great! I hope you're doing great too!

Hello, I'm not sure why I didn't think to seek out the message board months ago. But I'm here now :cursing: I'm having my lap band surgery on Tuesday. Any last minute advice is always welcome!

HI, this is my first post here. I've been on the home site a lot but never thought to seek out a message board. My surgery is Tuesday and I'm anxious! It's been a long road getting here. My insurance required a 6 month pre-surgery program. It sure seems there are varied pre-op diets (that's what made me look for a message board) I've been on a 2 week pre-op diet and slipped up a bit yesterday and was looking for some info on what if anything that would do. Anyway this seems like a great message board.
