  1. Got banded in Albany NY on 2/9 gas and bruising (and cathater pain) are my only complaints. Advice is to get back on your regular meds ASA you can - esp diuretics. 2/12 - my weight is below its pre-op low Starting to need food now Looking to stave off dehydration and fatigue. Onward!
  2. Yes, I'm having Lap Band surgery on Feb. 9. My testing begins next week with the dreaded endoscopy I've been attending lap band and weight loss groups since last summer and find them very helpful. Any advice as I'm less than three weeks away from my date? I'm interested in the surgery day experience and in how quickly I will notice any benefits. DM
