  • My surgeon didnt have me do the barium. The first couple of days are the worst. I had mine on 12-2, and I feel 100% now. I go in on the 7th for my fill, so I still dont know how that will go. But you should do fine.

I hope I don't have to do it thanks for the advice

I did the barium, it's nasty but it's two seconds ......

I was banded on December 1st ,2011 and I also feel 100%.

Surgery was Thursday ... Taking it easy, I was out xmas shopping that monday.

I feel great and so will you !!

Good luck and were all here for you !! Keep us posted

I didn't have to do the barium either. I was banded on December 8 and love it. I've lost 24 pounds to date (this includes my 2 week pre-op weight loss). I go for my first fill on the 10th.

Good Luck
