Hey Y'all:
I was just banded on Tuesday. I started on my clear liquid diet yesterday, and noticed pretty bad reflux and general stomach discomfort. As an RN I know this will go away, but, I would just like re-assurance others have been through this.
Dr. Mueller completed my Lap-Band yesterday and it was such a smooth experience. My pain is well controlled with the medication, I am walking around my property up here in Pine Valley, things are going well.
No thanks for all of the detail, that really helps decrease anxiety. I just love the modern world, a Canadian in London is chatting with someone in the mountains of California, pretty cool.
So no Narcotics needed?
Interesting. Yes I have Blue Cross and my suregery is completely covered. I do have to pay about $500 out of pocjer, but, that seems reasonable. Yes the pre-op period is getting on my nerves and I am very anxious to get the procedure completed.
Welcome Kim!
I have my surgical date on 06 October 2009 for my Lap-Band and am currently on my pre-operative liquid diet. So did the NHS pay for your banding or did you have to pay out of pocket? I live in the mountains outside of San Diego, California with my wife and two daughters.

Hey All:
How do I add a picture so that it appears when I post or reply? Also How does one add the "weight ticker" to their signature line when they post?
