Leave y'all alone for a few days and look what happens..... Yes the band sucks for some of us. I would have my ovaries removed through my nose with nail clippers and rusty wire before I relived that hell again. HOWEVER, if you're going to come in here making claims then you need to be able to back them up. Otherwise you either look like a reactionary who doesn't take the time to think things through, or, in this case, just looking ignorant. If 40% of bands failed the FDA and insurance companies would yank it. There's no physiologic way the band can cause atrial fibrillation. Gallbladder disease and removal is very common with any type of significant weight loss, band, sleeve, bypass, or au natural. And yup, step 1 is band 101 class was no drinking with meals, it's been that way for years. The good news is that it's removable! You might wanna check into that!

You can always add chicken broth and thin it til it's slurpable!

As long as you keep the broth it's liquid...if you drain the broth and just purée the stuff it's thicker and a purée.

Yay pooky!!!!

They also say those of us having revisions lose a bit slower....dunno if it's true or it but read it repeatedly. Good luck!!!

I almost felt, okay I did feel, like the surgeons visit was just a technicality....just the last thing that had to be checked off a list....I think his nurse and coordinator know my entire life history and are my true heroes!!

Chap stick, clean panties, phone charger, your own pillow (washable) more comfy at the hospital plus you can hug it to your tummy on the way home....really never used much else.

I'm 3 weeks pre-op and the single mom of an 8 year old....gotta feed me but can't starve him post-op either. If you come up with RNY and family friendly recipes please share!!!

Lol I'd be on the phone harassing them (nicely) at 8:00 tomorrow morning!

Obviously a lot of variety depending on the surgeon so I'll add more! No driving for at least 48 hours post-op and while on pain meds. After my lap-band and then band removal I was driving short distances by day 4.... Almost always have catheter out when you wake up, he wants you walking to the potty ASAP! Usually no JP drain but not always. More confused then ever now huh?

I get VERY irritable, ridiculously so before I get he weak, shaky, head achy, light headed feeling....if I let it go, I end up with it all. Fun stuff.

Girl that's a whole lot of consideration!!! You should be so stoked to finally have a decision made and be so close!!! Welcome to the party and congrats!!!!

FYI I'm a failed band getting bypass next month, the band does work for some but there are some major issues with it. Andyes,this forum is a wealth of information

It's called Countdown....I have my RNY, my 40th birthday in March, and my vacation to the Florida Keys this summer all counting down . I think when I first got my date for the RNY it was 176 days til surgery so it's totally awesome to see 22 now!!

Crap. I now have 'can't touch this' playing over and over in my head. STOP! Hammer time!

Irregardless of how you loose you're wait, your two important not too do it! They're! I said it!!!!

Has a bit of a zing to it!

Although the time is a guess.

Hahha Me to!!!! Ready to get moving!!!!
