I just got my phone call and they scheduled my surgery. Looking at April 5th.

I have started my sleep diary for the sleep study and that is the last thing that I have to do, other than the 2nd consult and the labwork. :thumbup:

Think I'm starting to get nervous, it's not completly hit me, I don't think. I was just sitting here trying to decide if I should just try one more diet. I just want my life back. Now to work on the inside stuff!

Anyone else out there looking at an April banding?

Hope everyone is good,

Well I start my 2 week liquid Protein on Friday, bad thing is we are leaving on a trip for the week end, hard to pack all the extra on the bike. I hope I can tolerate them, I took SF koolaid and puddings to mix in. But I do want to try to mix with SF orange soda as my DR suggested.

Hard to think its only two weeks a way after so long ..........

Good question Monkeymama,

I am getting banded on April 23rd. So far I've only asked for the surgery day (Friday) and the Monday. I can make my job sedentary if needed. My biggest concern is nausea. Did you get some good replies?

BTW- Good luck with your surgery! I'm predicting that April 2010 Bandsters will enjoy the BEST results ever!

Keep us posted!

Good luck Neesha! Post your progress so we can know what to expect! :-)

Good luck hayo0ona! I hope things went smoothly today! Keep us posted on how your recovery goes!

Great to read all of your stories and concerns thus far! I am being banded on the 27th- I was supposed to be banded tomorrow but life got in the way. I was wondering for those of you who have gotten the surgery- how soon did you go back to work? Did it match what your doctors said?

I have a desk job. I was banded on Wednesday and went back to work on Monday with no real problem - just a bit fatigued. I has some gas in my stomach and took Gas-X stips to keep that down. I had limited referred pain in my shoulder. I only used pain med the first day and a half. They made me fuzzy headed so I switched to Tylenol. I had no nausea or vomiting. I focused on my Water and Protein drinks and sipped, sipped, sipped.

Everyone is different but I am 57 years old and not especially healthy and I did fine.

Good luck!

just got my LAP-BAND® on the 15th! dealin with a lot of pain, especially where the port is. i had my hiatal hernia fixed at the same time and i have a LOT of pain in my diaphram (it KILLS to laugh). just takin one day at a time..

I am having surgery on the 28 of april and am looking for some buddies to experience this with...My name is Rebecca and I have 5 children and work fulltime. I am so excited but the anxiety has started to set in just a little. Hope you are having a great day!

Rebecca I go the day before you... It still seems unreal to me so the nerves haven't kicked in.

Well I have made it thru the long weekend and lost 5lbs so hope I'm off to a good start. I need to ask if it's OK because I only have been drink 2 or 3 shakes a day with a side salad for dinner. I was not hungry at all. But the shakes are much better when you have a blender to mix them with ice and a little fruit.

April 30th is fast approaching:ohmy:...
