I feel your pain! I was banded on Oct. 21st, and I am hungry all day long. I am watching what I eat along with walking every day, but it really and truly is BANDSTER HELL!!!!! I am scheduled for my first fill on Dec. 3. Let's do it together! On Thanksgiving, when the meal is on the table, you can think of me starving along with you!!!! Good Luck! Pina3940:thumbup:

Hi There, I was banded on 10/21, and I am on the pureed food stage as well. I feel the same as you. I'm starting to get hungrier between meals. It's a little scary because I won't be able to get a fill until next month.

Hi Rebecca, It's so nice to meet you! I was banded yesterday morning at 8:30am. It was not too bad. I'm just bloated and sore at the port incision, other than that I'm O.K. It is so nice to have a forum like this to go for support and encouragement. Thank you Pina

Hi Oct 21st Bandsters, I am getting banded tomorrow at 6am as well. I am both nervous and excited at the same time!! Good Luck Everyone!

I am from Fountain Valley, California.

Hello everyone, I am 52 years old, and am having lapband surgery tomorrow. I was asked to report to the hospital at 8am, but my surgery is scheduled at 12noon. I am so pleased to meet you all. I am sure I will be looking to all of you seasoned bandsters for guidance. It's nice to have a special place for us 50 and over gals!!!

Good Luck to all of the October bandsters!! Also I will be thinking of all my bandmates who's lucky day is tomorrow like myself. I am to report to the hospital at 8am tomorrow for surgery at 12noon. Just think tomorrow at this time we will be official bandsters!!!!! Good luck everyone!! Pina3940

I am getting banded on Oct. 21st!!! I'm getting pretty excited too!!

:thumbup:Hi everyone, My surgery has been scheduled for Wed. Oct 21. It will be so comforting to have so many October bandsters to communicate with! :thumbup:

Points well taken, however, why did you select the lap band initially?????????????????????:sad:
