Hi Catherine and welcome! I am still somewhat new here myself. My surgery is set for Sept 10th.. and the excitement and nervousness are starting to kick in. Have you started your pre op diet yet? I started mine last Friday.. missing food but so far so good!

Congrats and welcome to LBT. Their is so much information on this site, it is mind boggling! Good luck on your journey, Waynooo

Hi!! Welcome and good luck on your upcoming surgery! Be sure to keep us all informed on how your big day went.

Good Luck Catherine

Welcome!! I am about a month out of being banded and i must say the best thing i ever did!! You will be nervous prior to the surgery but from my own experience the surgery was a piece of cake. you will feel discomfort from the air that gets into your abdomen and that is probably the worst of it. The incisions didnt hurt that bad. I didnt even take the pain meds and i am a big baby when it comes to stuff like this lol. In fact I was at my sons football practice the next day. You will be tired from not having any protein but it comes and go's. Good luck!!!!

Welcome! Good luck on your journey!

how do you put those weight trackers on????
