I got banded on Oct 4. The first few days were rough for me because I couldn't get comfortable! Now Im doing pretty good... I just have the itches! My incision is starting to heal and it itches like crazy. My post op apt is tomorrow. I have to wait a couple of weeks and then I can get the ok to exercise. Im also ready to be done with the soft foods/liquid diet. :smile2: Good luck and keep in touch... we are pretty close bandsters!

Esorami: Im going to wear some baggy sweat pants and a t-shirt. I've also been told to take a pillow to put across your tummy for the ride home... it will help support the stitches and make the ride easier. October 4 baby!~:smile2:

Thank you Kim for your encouragement! I love my carbs and Im worried about it. I get banded on Monday! Glad to hear all is well a month post op!

Yeah!! I get banded on Monday. How was the recovery? Quick? I hope to be up and moving around pretty good in a couple of days. Wishful thinking??

I get banded on Monday. Im excited. I keep hitting a wall with my weight loss and I hope this will help me get past it. Im not looking forward to the "pain" but its short term... I hope!

Im scheduled for Oct 4th. Im at the point that Im just ready to get it over with! Good luck!

Oct 4th! Hopefully the next 2 weeks goes fast.

Im scheduled for Oct 4th. Today is the first day of my 2 week pre-op diet. Im doing ok, I think!:thumbup:

Im new here and new to this lap band idea. I had a class with the doc last night and I have my physical scheduled with my family doc. Waiting to hear when I have pre op appointment with surgeon. Dh is nervous for me and isn't sure it will help. I feel like I need to do this.
