Wonderful! Brag all you want!

I think the growling is gas, not hunger. My stomach sounds like a motorcycle! Lol

I came home 15 pounds heavier!

I feel fine if I'm not moving, but getting up and down is really painful. Will it feel better in a few days?

I was at the hospital for28 hours, hooked up to the iv the whole time. I gained 15 pounds! Will it all go away?

I'm finally getting to leave the hospital in about an hour. Just wanted to mention that I have had NO signs of hunger. Pretty cool. And walking really is best for the pain, even if its just a 2 minute walk. The rest of you going this month will do great! I am so thankful that its been a breeze so far.

Hi guys! I'm doing great! No pain. Although the gas pain was really bad when I first woke up. I got up and walked a couple times and that did the trick. Just wanted to update you!

I am leaving for surgery in about a half an hour!

Good luck, girls!!!! I go tomorrow!

With the exception of day 2, I did fine. I wouldn't call it enjoyable but it was deffinitly doable. It will go by fast. Tommorrow is my last day!

That was good! And that boy sure loves his sex! Lol

Yes. my surgery is on Wednesday. He has a great team, but also has a $1500 program fee that I didn't know about until a couple days ago. They are worth it though.

Thank you, you guys are amazing!

My 5 year old daughter is the same way! She'd be happy eating nothing but fruits and veggies! Good luck on Tuesday!

I guess I'll find out Monday. Sucks. My husband is a Marine, we don't have hundreds of extra dollars laying around.

It's scary once surgery gets close! Losing weight is easy. Keeping it off is not. Which is why I am getting the band, to help me maintain. Great job on the 50 pounds!!!

Has anyone else had to pay out of pocket for their anesthesiologist? They are having a meeting about it on Monday. Weird.

I keep having dreams that I am post-op and have absolutely NO PAIN! lol

It's getting close and I'm getting cold feet. Having doubts. I've wanted this for 5 years and now its here. Kind of scary! Tell me how much you love your band so I know it will be worth it!

Day 2 was the worst for me! I'm on day. 9 and it's not bad at all. Just remember this isn't forever and it's for a good cause. We can do it!

So I go to the hospital today for pre registraition. They gave me the # to call the anesthesia company to make sure my insurance covers them, and they don't!!! Wtf didn't they have all this figured out already??? I'm guess it would cost thousands out of pocket. So I. Called the surgeons office and told them I need an anesthesiologist that is covered by tricare. So stupid. If they can't do it, I guess ill have to cancel surgery. Oh and to top it off I had to pay my program fee which turned out to be $1500! They are worth every penny, but holy cow!

I love hearing these success stories!

1 more week! I hope everyone is doing well!

I hope it goes fast!

Thanks for all the good news! I was starting to second guess myself! I do have a (real life ) banded friend that can eat as much as she wants, and she has 10 cc in her 11 cc band. I plan to follow all the rules, but I know I'll need restrictin to stay on track forever.
