Hey All! I'm getting banded on June 30th and I'm nervous and excited! I was wondering...the gas pains that you experience post-op, is it similar to the gas pains post C-Section...cause I've done that and wow it's intense. A.

Hey Rhonda, Congrats and Happy New Life to you. I'm getting banded on the 30th of June and would love any advice or tips to make the pre-op and post-op stage easier. My little boy is 2 and it is going to kill me to not be able to pick him up. I also work full-time and was hoping to get back to work earlier than 2 weeks, but I guess we are all different. Would love to chat more...

Hi Mark, Congratulations on your recent loss of 31lbs!! I live in Central NJ too and am getting banded on the 30th of June. I'm nervous and excited, hopeful and scared. Any pre-op advice for me? Hope you and your wife are feeling better...you guys sound like a nice loving couple.

Hi There! While I don't live in NYC, I do live in NJ, right across the River. My surgery date is June 30th and I'm nervous, excited, etc. If you want to start a support email rapport, I'd be happy to do so! Good Luck and keep on the right track - we CAN do this.:Dancing_biggrin:

Hi Everyone out there! I am in the pre-op stage and am anxious and excited for my surgery scheduled on June 30th here in New Jersey. I've lost 23 lbs so far in a month and a half but I feel like I' ve hit a wall. I struggle with the emotional aspect of eating, I've always used it as a reward and instant gratification and I struggle with that. Would love to have band buddies. My surgery date is June 30th, 2010. Any suggestions would be great.
