Yep! i have had my share of feeling like I can barely walk to the bathroom because of not having any energy. Good luck to you.

I know what you mean girl! This has happened to me before! I didn't get to the vomiting part, but I did overeat an let me tell you, IT HURT SO BAD!!!!!! I vomited only once since I had the surgry and that was because I took pain medication on a empty stomach. I hate vomiting!

Dr. Auroy Pryor is the best in the business. She did my surgery and I truly can say that she did a really good job. I'm so glad that she was did mine. Good luck and if you have any questions, I will be more than happy to share what I've learned. Take care. Mandie

I had mine done with one incision through the belly button. I don't have any visible scars. I think the healing is a lot longer. It took me a while to heal, but my cycle came on the day after surgery so maybe it seemed worst than it reall was. I'm very happy with my results!:thumbup:

:thumbup:Congratulations!

I don't know if I have posted on this forum or not, but I will be banded on August 25, 2010 (Wednesday) I am so freaking out! Is there anyone else out there that lives in the Roxboro/Durham NC area? I am seriously needing a buddy to get through all of this! I don't know what I would do without my internet friends and support groups! I wish everyone a speedy recovery and keep the posts coming!

Thanks for the boost! You look great! I'm getting my band on August 25,2010. I hope I have a success story to share when it's all said and done. Take care!

Hello Guys, My name is Mandie, I have posted on other August boards, so I figured, why not post here too. My surgery date is Agust 25,2010. I am going through my week of high protein, low carbs, low fats, low calorie foods. I only have to do one day of liquids the day before my surgery and after surgery, I will be on 3 weeks of liquids. I purchased the Boost High Protein drink (vanilla and chocolate). I think that I am going to do a laxative Sunday morning (August 22nd) just because I am generally a constipated person and the thought of straining after surgery freaks me out. lol! Anyway, I know that's too much information, but it's definitely something that I am concerned about. You Guys, I want a ticker! Can someone please explain to me how to set this up and running??

I am so glad that others have joined in! It was hard finding you guys! I'm still learning this site so if it takes me a while to respond it's because I've lost where this forum is. Is it possible that I can save this in my favorites? Take care guys and please, let's keep in touch.

I'm Approved! :thumbup:Surgery date is August 25, 2010! I am so excited! I start the low carb, low fat, low calorie, high protein diet today. I am doing this a week before the surgery. The day before the surgery, I have to do a strict liquid diet and NO food or drink after 12! That's going to be a long day and rough night! lol! My doctor want to try a fairly new procedure on me where she's making only one incision through the belly button.... Lord! I am so scared to do this! Why try something NEW on ME! Anyway, I told her that I would be willing to try this new procedure. Dr. Pryor helped design this procedure.... I sure hope she knows what she's doing.

I'm Approved! Finally! Surgery date August 25, 2010!

Hi Guys, My name is Mandie. I'm getting my band on August 25,2010! I'm so excited! Are there anyone else out there that are getting banded in August and want to be buddies?
