Yes I am feeling very well, no real problems to mention! I had my surgery at Memorial Hospital in Tampa Floirda. I am not one for the message boards, I love the chat.

I never had much luck on the chat either. Find a thread you really like and you will get lots of support from there. Our group was banded in Texarkana, TX. So we have a Texarkana bandsters thread. I started it. Long time ago. We love it because we are all under the same doc, rules, ect. Sometimes we get a little slack about posting (like me). But for the most part we try to keep it active, especially for the newbies like you. Hope you are feeling well. Where did you have your surgery? There our LOTS of threads, find one you like, you will enjoy it. I will help any way I can.

I still cant get in day #3 this is so discouraging! I hadmy surgery on thursday and was so looking forward to talking with everyone in the chat! lots of questions too!:thumbup:

I joined because there was a chat room in which I could discuss the lapband with people that had it. Now I had my surgery on Thursday and I have yet to be able to get to the chat room everytime i try it goes to the page showing how many in a chat and says Logging in now but never changes. I was really looking forward to going in to be able to talk with the fellow bandsters let them know I got my band and get support through this time of adjustment with my band.

New here and worried about Tuesday. I made the mistake of reading a website basically called "Everything that can go wrong with the LAP-BAND® and people who want to share their stories." What a downer. I have been reading HERE about all the successes, so I hope that I am going to do well without any complications!:wink2:

Hi I too did that even went on youtube and watched video's of people who were having problems or complications with the lapband. I personally know someone who had it and I am using the same surgeon. I know I am making the right decision and my surgery is thursday! I am down 9lbs in the preop diet. :tongue2:

Hi I am Cristina and I am getting the band on november 19th 2009 I am in tampa is anyone else out there in tampa?

I am havingmy surgery on november 19th too :Yawn:

So ..... I'm starting my pre-op diet this Sunday the 1st. My surgery is on the 13th. My husband and I are celebrating our anniversary early this year. Our anniversary is the 2nd of November, but we are going to Celebrate it tomorrow. Yeah, Halloween!! Aww well. Anyway.. I'm really nervous about starting this pre-op liquid diet. '

I just got back from the store and bought a bunch of Jello, crystal light, and other liquid stuff. I also have 2 big things of whey Protein mix different flavors.

I'm not required to do this pre-op liquid diet, but I choose to do based on the fact that I wanna get a head start and get my body used to this change.

I'm not messing around.

Anyway...those who have done it, how have you guys done? Did you cheat? Did you do great all the way through?

Hi I am cristina I am having the surgery right after you on nov 19th I start my liquid diet on the 6th I think I pick it up on tuesday my email is sis123190@aol.com if you would like to keep in touch. While I have people who are supporting me someone who is right about where I am at might be helpful.
