Sounds good, goodluck. Losing weight feels so good.....

I was banded on the 26th, since day of surgery I have lost 15 lbs. total lost including pre op diet = 41 lbs. I am gettting bored of the full liquid diet, aside from pureed soup and cream soup, muscle milk,I dont know what else to use. I excercise 2x a day on a recumbent bike and then walk to the beach for sunsets....I have a Dr. appointment for this coming Wed. where I guess we will discuss a fill? IDK. Good luck all...

I was banded last Wed. and went with the realize. Its port was half the height of the lap band, but my Dr. gave me the choice and said both are great...

4th day for me and it HURT

Congrats! I was banded Wed 5/26. Pin is there, but getting better. Walking is key so I read....I am off to walk a little now,the pain is less day by day, good luck all....

Thank you everyone. My surgery went perfect. I am walking, liquids are going down slow and fine...Going out right now for a walk to the beach.... Life is good..

Nervous, but more excited about the new lifestyle. Any tips for the first day post? Thanks

I'll be banded May 26th I was not nervous UNTIL NOW ...I have to start a liquid diet this thursday. Any help or hints would be greatly appreciated. My surgeon is Dr. Mehta, at the Peconic Bay medical center in Riverhead Long Island.. Also can anyone help me, how do I get a bmi scale and weight scale progress thingy for my signature. Thanks in advance!

WOW, lost this site. I got my approval from Aetna and will have the surgery on May 26. Nervous, but I know its for the best.. Good luck all.

Great, good luck. I am planning to attend the support group she offers, hope to meet you. Let me know how it went with the consult.:thumbup:
