Hi girls,

Thought I'd check in! I had my band surgery Monday and I'm doing great. Just a little belly pain, no gas and I'm tolerating liquids very well. This surgery was much more easier than my gall bladder surgery. Hope everyone else is doing good. Cathy

Hi Cathyburt!

I saw that you are from Ohio--I grew up in Columbus and go back every year to see my mom and brother--where do you live?

Congrats on your upcoming banding!

Margaret,

Congrats on your weight loss. 19 pounds is awsome.

I'm about 2 hours south of Columbus near Ironton. Looking forward to my band!

Hi Katiepie!

Pre-op is going ok. I'm on 3 low fat meals a day or can substitue 2 Protein shakes a day. This morning I had cream of wheat w/ vanilla Protein powder. Not bad. My pre-op is for 2 weeks........how is yours going?

Hi Girls,

Love to join in here. I'm scheduled to get my lap band on May 10th. I'm nervous and excited also. It's been an 8 month process (this time around). I'm 51 years old from Ohio. Around 280 pounds and looking forward to onderland!

I'm currently doing supervised weight loss through Feb. prior to my LAP-BAND® surgery. In my WLS meeting last week we were talking about hair loss. The dietician said to always make sure you are getting the recommended Protein, especially immediately after surgery. Not eating enough Protein can show up 6 months later down the road as Hair loss. Nioxin was also recommended as an excellent idea prior to surgery and afterwards to prevent hair loss.
