I am new at this and excited to learn from all those that have already been on their journey! Scared and nervous, but excited!

Congrats! I was banded the same day!! Hope you're feeling well. I'm nervous + excited, but still in some minimal pain.

We can do this!!

:rolleyes:I was banded on June 21 also. I almost lost site due to the gas and the pain in my left side, but I am good to go.....Thank you Jesus!!!!!!

Good luck to you two banded on the 21st! Wish u all the best! Having any trouble? What are you eating? Or i should say drinking?????

I waS also banned on the 21st and I have had some problems but got it corrected. They left the primer fluid in the band. Had to go back to Dr. office and get the fluid removed. Got a reality check on what the fill process would feel like. I am sure it won't hurt as bad after you get healed up. They withdrew 3cc of fluid and I was set free. I went 4 days post op before I got relief. Now I am getting fluids and getting stronger every day. Good Luck and be patient.

How do you feel. I was banded on the 21st too! TOday is the first day I actually think I feel better!

I actually feel better today ~ but the gas pain is pretty intense still! but it's getting better everyday! Thank goodness! I had a few mini meltdowns this week, but still powering thru!

Congratulations to all of you!!! I know this time next week, you will all be feeling better and giving your updates to help me through my wait!

Hello All! I was banded on June 21st also. :lol:I feel great too, awaiting another follow up withthe Dr./ nutritionist tomorrow morning. Is anyone exercising yet? So far I walk about 2 miles a day.

happy for you all on your success however mine was not so good. I had surgery June 23,2010 and had to have the band removed on June 28,2010... very bad experience for me... I had severe nausea and it NEVER stopped after 5 solids days of it i couldn't stand it anymore and went to ER for multi testing,.. I have very severe motion sickness guess my stomach could not stand the pressure on my stomach!!! dr never gave me a reason, just well don't know.... sure wish someone, ANYONE would have let me know that motion sickness could be a bad thing for lap band surgery!!! It has been a very costly mistake on my part but I am feeling better, PTL~~
