Finally--B-day!!! Monday it is! I was so waiting for this day with anticipation but now feel nervous too. Am I going

to be able to chew, chew, chew and take tiny bites?? Since being on liquids , I am hungary a lot. Any

encouragement or suggestions welcome!!

I got banded on the 20th of January. Honestly, my eating habits havent changed much (In the way of chewing). I eat slower and get full faster. I recently got my first fill and am too tight so I'm going back in the morning to get it fixed but that is when my doctor starts to tell me to eat very small bites and chew 15-20 times. I havent had any issues but I hear after you get something stuck the first time you learn to take it alot slower! Good luck and I know I'm glad I chose to do the surgery even though I'm having some full issues. It'll all be worth it in the end!!

GOOD LUCK! How exciting. You do not need to be nervous, everything will go fine and you will be feeling really good about yourself in just a few short weeks. You'll be amazing at the weight loss you get right after surgery. The only irritant I had after surgery was the gas used during the surgery. That was a little painful but it went away within a few days. I'm so excited for you, Monday will start a wonderful journey for you and I know you will be successful.

Don't be scared and GOOD LUCK!!

Hi. I'm being banded on Friday. I'm nervous too. I'm so afraid of it not working for me. I read all the success stories and get all pumped up.

Anyway good luck tomorrow. Let me know how it goes.
