Hello fellow banders and future banders:

I was banded last Monday 11/07/05. It has been a rough few days with being nauseated. Today I am starting to feel better. I am very excited about the band and look forward to losing about 100lbs. The overall experience has not been that bad. I look forward to communicating on Lapband talk with all the friendly people here.

Have a great Day and Weekend (whats left of it)

John

Banded: 11/07/05 294lbs

Hi John, Welcome to LBT!! And also welcome to Bandland!!!

welcome Jon

Hey John,

I was banded last Monday Nov 7 also! I'm doing better, but have to take my Gas-X for my shoulder pain. Other than that I'm doing better everyday. I have a little over 100 pounds to lose. I have already lost about 6 pounds already and ready to lose more. I know it is only the liguid diet taking off the pounds, but it is a good motivation to start with. I'm getting a little sick of the liguids already, but not sure I could tolerate food just let. The liguids are doing just fine. I go to mushie food on Tuesday Nov 15, one week out from surgery. Then mushies for about 2 weeks or so. Nice to know there is this site for comfort and information.

Hope to chat again!

Welcome aboard John, glad to have you with us.

Well it's nice to have another man around the house ( no offense Jack hehe)

Welcome and good luck to you John!

Welcome to LBT! You'll like it around here, and we are always glad to have another guy on the boards! Good luck, and feel better soon! Cindy

John,

I had the nausea too! Congrats on joining the bandland. You will learn an awful lot here and answers to a million questions.

Keep on coming back.

Welcome to bandland!

Glad you are here! I was banded on Tuesday so we are pretty much in the same boat. The first couple of days were rough but I too feel much better now. Good luck to you and welcome to the board,
