Banded on August 23rd

I was banded on August 23rd by Dr.Bilton in Tuscaloosa, AL. I have my post op appointment on tommorow. I'm doing ok just tired of drinking liquids. Ive battled with my weight for years and i am ready to begin this weight loss journey. I need all the advice i can get. So if you have any helpful advice please dont hesitate to tell me.

Congradulations! Hope all is well. Keep us updated!! I have Surgery Sept 17 if all goes well.. Really don't know what to expect!!

I was banded on the 23rd too :thumbup: It's nice to see there's someone on here where I am!

Congrats on being banded! As for advice..there's definitely a lot, but for one remember that the next few weeks are for healing. Don't get discouraged if the scale isn't doing what you want it to do. Focus on your water/protein and things will get better!

Try to follow your post-op diet as closely as you can; slip-ups happen (I had a few) so don't get down on yourself. Though it really does help to follow your post-op plan as it allows you to heal properly and allows you to be able to see the lifestyle/eating changes you have to make.

Best of luck!
