I was banded on the 20th and the only problems I have had is the hurt in chest and shoulders but it is getting better. I am on all liquids now and have dropped 13 since band date but that is figuring in the 5 lb gain day of banding. Hang in there, we are all in this for the long haul.

May 20 th 1st day rest of my new life

great, banded yesterday no pains, not hungry, walked down the street yesterday and fixing to do again. no horror stories here yet. :smile:

GOOD LUCK TO ALL YALL !!!!!!!!! NEW LIFE A COMIN

Pre-op yesterday- banded May 20th> Getting anxious

I have pre-op tomorrow and and scheduled for band May 20. Getting the jitters . Rick

I have BCBS of La. and they told me I was allowed one night for in-patient unless something else happens. I didn't have to do the 6-month diet because my Dr.'s have had me on different ones for the past 5 years. You wprobably will have to have enoscopy due to acid reflux but your Dr. will let you know. I have my pre-op May 14 and be banded May 20th. Good Luck
