I am worried I just got the realize band Sept 16th 2009. I have lost 17 pounds including pre-op in 4 weeks. I notice it seems like everyone mainly has the lapband. The Dr asked me to chose but I left it up to him because he said there was not much difference between the 2 I hope I didn't make a mistake.

I was just banded Sept 16 2009 and feel sick to my stomach the last 2 days. Also I have these large ? gas bubbles that are round and hard by my insisions its like a babys foot or something pushing out of my stomach. Really weird feeling. I tried yest to eat a tiny little bite of scrambled egg and almost threw up but ran and took some antinausia medicine and was able not to. Im wondering if I made the right decision doing this. I hope it is going to get better soon. I hate to feel like Im always on the verge ov throwing up. could use some advice.

I am so so happy for you. You seem like such a nice person. I just had mine done 5 days ago. Not sure how much I can eat without getting sick. I tried to eat a small bite of a scrambled egg and got very nausous, so I took the meds the Dr gave me that prevent you from getting sick. I guess I have to learn by trial and error. It has only been 5 days so I have a lot to learn. I hope I do as good or even half as good as you do. God bless you and your family. Deann

Hi just noticed you were on the mushy stage which means you must have just had surg I have mine in 3 days. How are you feeling since surg are you back to work yet and how are you handling it. Im getting nervous about my surg so just want to see how others are doing that have recently got the band and if they are happy with it.

How did you get the ticker think with you weight loss and all to come up I cant seem to do it

I wish I just had a 3 day diet instead of 2 week. Im so glad your doing well. My surg is Sept 16th

Let me know what Protien shakes any of you find that are good. Do any of you feel as if your taste has changed after surg?

Im still on 2 week liquid diet and am having great trouble NOT thinking of food right now I hope this 2 weeks goes fast. Im so so happy all of you earlier Sept bandsters are doing well hare to believe after surg you say you have not much of an appitite because Im starving now. But good to hear so I know the band will help with the appitite controll. Good luck to all of you let me know how you all are doing. My surg is Sept 16th

Let me know how you do on your surg mine is on Sept 16th

I go on my liquid diet for 2 weeks starting Sept 2nd good luck with yours let me know how you do.

I beilieve that this surg is an answer to my prayers I have been trying and praying for years for God to help me with my weight problem. I hope this is the answer. I pray for all of you to do well please pray for me.

My surgery is also scheduled Sept 16th my brothers birthday. I wasnt going to tell him but since its on his birthday I did. I didnt want him to think I forgot him when I was just undergoing surg. I am really really getting nervous and it doesnt help when my husband and daughter keep repeating are you really sure this is what you want to do? I deal with emotions with food and it has also been the main form of entertainment for me and my husband. ( going out to eat on the weekends ordering pizza ect) I know I really need to lose this weight for my health and my self esteem but cant figure out why now that the day is within reach after 6 months of classes ect am I so nervous. I know this is the rest of my life I dont think Ill regret it but once its done its done. and Im worried the people I have told at work will be watching me and judging me as to how Im doing. If I fail at this after going through surg I will be so disapointed in myself. I dont mean to be negative but needed to get out my feelings before sure. I also am exited and hopefull that I will finally be able to get to a healthy weight. Lots of mixed emotions. anyone else feeling these kind of feelings Help. I need encouragement.:biggrin:

My surg is Sept 16th were right about the same time. Yea!!!!
