Congrats!! I go in on Thursday, 7/29 for mine....ready for a new beginning!:)

I am banded too! Surprisingly, not much gas pain but pain when I take deep breaths and get up and down.

Are you taking something for the gas pains?

Congrats Molly! I'm so excited for you!! I went for my psych consult today so I am one step closer. I will keep you in my prayers for a fast and speedy recovery and relief from the pain. Take care

Congrats Molly! I have been waiting to hear how you did! Very happy for you. I will be banded on 8/11 so I will be just starting where you just left off. Congrats again!

Congrats!! I get banded Friday and am very nervous..I hope I dont have too much pain!! thanks for sharing your experience!

Molly, SO AM I!!!

Everything went well!!! I have a ton of gas too. I tried walking around the house, gas x thin strips, laying on my side...nothing is working!!!!

I'm jealous of all of y'all!!

I wish it was me. Gas pain and all.

Keep reading and researching and check out the videos on Youtube to keep yourself inspired there are some great examples on there. I'm glad I found them.

I happened to catch the We channel today and caught one show about women that have had extreme weight loss and 2 of them were banded I was so encouraged.

Congratulations Molly!!! & everyone else banded today and those with upcoming surgeries!! How inspiring!

I can not wait to follow your journies!

Congrats to all the recent Bandsters!!! Please keep us updated! Just started the liquid diet today!

Everyone Please please please take care!:scared2:

Yea! I'm ready to join the banded club. Monday can't get here soon enough.

HI - I am getting banded August 16th and I am super nervous, but can't wait to get it done already. I love reading everyone's post - keep them coming, especially other newbies :scared2:

OMG - I am going the 16th - Our weight is pretty similiar and my goal is the same as yours - good luck! I will be keeping an eye on your posts!

8/16 for me too!!

We must stay in touch.

I know it will be here like tomorrow but it seems so far away right now as I sit here eating pigs in the blanket to get them out of the freezer before I start my liquid diet. :scared2:
