It is funny, many of us carry our weight well. I don't think anyone would have imagined I was morbidly obese....but I was and needed this surgery.

That is kind of rotten that she said that to you. I have notice some people say things to make themselves feel better. *hugs* hope you feel better soon.

Hey folks who have had surgery, when did you all start your full liquids. I know every doc is different. I am just curious.

I packed pj's, medicine, my laptop and a book. I didn't end up using any of it. :redface:

I had surgery Thursday evening and came home yesterday. I am a bit sore (but don't want to take the med.) Trying to get my liquids in. Sydney

Howdy all just checking in. Banded yesterday evening and came home around 6 tonight. All in all doing well. I ha a large hernia I had fixed as well. :w00t: Sydney

Banded yesterday and home from the hospital today. I am a bit sore. And tired due to some poor old guy down the hall yelling all night :w00t: Feels so much better to be home.

I am headed out to the hospital in a hour. My stomach is making some crazy noises since I haven't been able to eat since yesterday.:biggrin:

Good Luck Sunshine :smile2: Hope we both do well tomorrow! Sydney

So nice to have this group to read through. I am being banded Thursday night I'll be home Friday sometime. My dr. doesn't do the barium until the next morning. Keep experiences rolling in. And good luck to the rest of you this week. Sydney

Wow, looks like a lot of us are having surgery on the 13th. :confused: Mine is at night, Blah, and my Dr. requires a one night stay for everyone so I won't be home til Friday. Good luck this week, I am on Medifast for my preop. I get 5 medifast products and one lean an green meal a day. I am down 10, not as much as I wanted but a good kickstart :sad: Sydney

Wow, that sounds like a fun FB group I may have to join, Thanks for the heads up. I have lost 10 lbs on my pre op diet so far, it seems so real and possible now. Surgery in just a few days :confused: *happy dance*

Thanks to those of you who are banded for sharing. How is it going for all of you now that you are home. :confused: Sydney

It is getting so close and SO real! I can't wait until the 13th. Sydney

I see your post is an old one. I am going to have surgery with him on the 13th. Where are you in your journey? Sydney

Hi, I am getting banded on the 13th, and would love to have some support! Sydney:thumbup:

Since I was the queen of liquid diets in the past, this isn't too horrible. I hope I can get through the 2 weeks. :redface: I have my pre-op on Monday. For those of you who know about your liver, how do you know? I am curious. Sydney

I am getting banded on May 13th, like many of you I am starting to get a bit anxious. Not about the surgery...but life after! Sydney

I got my date :eek: I have surgery May 13th at 5:10. Getting nervous.

I have had every test known to man, and 6 months of weigh ins. Going to schedule my date tomorrow!

Hey all, I have been working on this since August of last year. Looks as thought I will be banded in May, although no date yet. I am so excited, it has been a loooonnng wait. Good luck all you May folks and keep in touch.

I paid lots of money for laser on my upper lip and loved it...until I had my sweet girl 5 years ago, now it is thicker and way worse than before. I now wax on my own with an occasional trip to the salon. As for the girly area I use Veet. Nair doesn't work, but I love veet. :eek:

Thanks for the info. :thumbup: I am not looking forward to spending the night in the hospital, but is a requirement from my doc.

Ladies, for those of you that had to have a sleep study done, did you wear a bra? Sydney

I had mine put in a few months ago. My periods are lighter and shorter :Yawn: I don't check my threads because honestly at my current size it is hard. Insertion wasn't bad, but she let me go right away and I almost passed out while driving a few blocks away, so I suggest resting for a few. Sydney
