yea that surgar free jello (premade) is something I was told I could have, and no problems so far. I just chew it up real well.

I got banded the 17th. He stitched up a (sp) hilatel hernia, threw on large band with 5 mils of fluid. No gas pains, but I start feeling lousy out running my wife around town, but the liquid pain medicine hydrocordone works wonders and within an hour I'm fine. day 2 of fluids only, and I've had broth, protien drinks, water, and jello. No probemo's. Best wishes all!

I'm getting banded on the 17th, am I prepared,...I think not. Two shakes a day and then overeat for dinner, not enought exercise...I get banded then fly out of the country 3 days later. Oh well, good luck all!!

good luck with that, but I´ve read of a lot of people that have had it done there. Make sure they have the newest generation lap bands...

Wow, best wishes!! I´m on my last scotch and real food today, I have my surgery on the 17th. I know, I should have been better, but this is real life, and we might as well be truthful. Keep in touch and let us know how it´s going.

Best wishes!! From what I heard, lapband was invented and developed in Houston Tx...that is where I am going to get mine done. I know we are all hoping for the best, and I wish it for you.

I´m not following all the rules as I should probably, and I´m out of the country all the time, but will fly back to Houston for the surgery the 17th of June. Don´t know anyone who has had this done so I´ll go read the Freq. ask´d Questions forum. I hope decaf is ok...? Hope refills are not frequent..? Anyway hello all and let me know if I should be doing something I´m not or vise versa. Best wishes to you all.
