I had my surgery on June 12th which will be 3 weeks tomorrow. Everything has been rolling really smoothly and no troubles at all. Then today hit! I have been bloated and feel so full that I can't eat anything. I can barely drink water without having to burb like a man afterwards to get the air out. All I have had today was some yogurt this morning and about 1/2 cup of water. Is this normal? Did I do something wrong, everything feels so tight and pushed up into my chest. If you are lactose intolerant wouldn't it have happened before today? Oh and I am severly constipated. Does anyone have any suggestons?

Hello all, I am new here and getting pretty freaked out about my upcoming surgery. I have so many different feelings about it. Happy, excited, stressed, scared, anxious, and just plum freaking out. I know I am making the right choice. And I really think I was more freaked out about the fact that I am having to do an all liquid diet until my surgery. Did anyone else have to do this for 2 weeks pre op? Please let me know how you dealt with it. It's extremely hard and stressful.

Dr. David Hall is the only Doctor in Lubbock that does the Lap-Band procedure. I live here and just had my surgery on the 12th of June. He is great. I am originally from Carlsbad and there are no other doctors close by.

Hey everyone! Just wanted to let everyone know that I made it through surgery and did great! Now if I just get through this Jello and Water diet I will be doing good. Only a couple more days left. Thanks for all the great support!

Hello everyone, being banded on the 12th and getting pretty antsy. I'm not sure if I'm more scared or more excited? Anyways, just wanted to say hey to you all and wish everyone good luck pre and post bands. Cross your fingers for me and say a little prayer that I don't completely freak before actually having the surgery done. :thumbup:

Thanks so much you guys, I know I am doing the right thing, I guess it just doesn't keep me from being scared the closer and closer I get to surgery. The liquid diet is going really well now and so far I have lost 13lbs. I've stopped fixating on food as much and started working in the yard or going for walks or just getting online to see what everyone is up to. Thanks again for the great support, if it weren't for the great people on here I'm not sure I would make it through all this!

My surgery will be 6/12, and I too am my doctor's first. Have to be there at 6:00a.m. I'm so excited but not liking this liquid diet at all. And I am not supposed to eat anything but the protein shakes, uGGGGGGg:crying:
