Hi and welcome! I was just banded on Dec 1 and live In Reynoldsburg, Oh..not too far from u. I went with mid-ohio surgical and they are amazing! Dr. Miller did my surgery but they have a couple more surgeons in their practice as well. I chose Dr. Miller because for appts he's closer....near mt. Carmel east and the other 2 are near the west side. Hope this info helps....I'm 6 days post op and glad I did this. Let me know if u have any questions!

Thanks...I'm gonna go get some books for ideas!

Good luck to all the future bandsters for this month! I am now 5 days post op and I feel great! I still have a little shoulder pain but nothing more than I expected. Still not getting in all of my liquids but its getting better each day... just gotta sip, sip, sip! Not feeling hungry at all but I guess that part will come soon enough. I have my post op appt with my doc thursday and a post op nutrition class next week, then ill move on to mushies...any ideas for eating at that stage will be greatly appreciated!

Right now I'm on full liquids but it's so hard for me to get it all in. I've been sipping but right now I'm not even close to what I should be getting...just taking it one day at a time. Everyday seems to get better...so thankful for the support from u guys.

Hey, hows everyone feeling?? Im feeling great and even went back to work today! I have a desk job so no heavy lifting or anything. Im finding it a lil difficult to get all of my liquids in but im trying. Im looking forward to hear how our other new bandsters are doing and good luck to those of u that are next!

Thanks! My doc keeps everyone in the hopsital for one night so I will be out later this morning. I think I would have been fine to go home yesterday tho. The queeziness I felt right after surgery and they gave me meds for that and have felt fine since.

Good Luck tomorrow, u are in my prayers!

Hi everyone! Thanks for all of ur prayers and support, everything went great and I'm finally banded! Right now I'm feeling fine, still in the hospital until tomorrow afternoon. After surgery I was a lil queezy from the meds but not really any pain at all....only had one dose of pain meds since recovery. Glad its over but I really worried myself for no reason at all! I will post more when I get out of here, saying lots of prayers for all of u!

Hey December Bandsters, our time is finally here! Surgery is tomorrow and I'm soooooo excited! I will keep everyone updated on my experience as soon as I'm able to. Good luck to u all and please pray for me...its my first surgery ever and I'm super nervous!

Hi! I also have a date of December 1st! I'm very excited and nervous about the surgery but can't wait! I have my pre-op and final nutrition class tomorrow. No mandatory pre-op diet but I do need to lose 10 pounds before surgery...which I'm still working on! Glad we share the same date...here's to our new start in 2011!

Hi everyone! I'm scheduled for surgery on December 1st. I'm very excited and nervous at the same time...first surgery EVER! Good luck and I look forward to starting this journey with all of u!
