I know there's a special section for this, but it doesn't seem to be too popular so I'll give it a whirl here..

Anyone here to be banded in February besides me?

My surgery date is February 15th.

Feel free to add me on Facebook for support, etc. =]

No gas pain I'm At the hospital til Tuesday afternoon I can believe its finally in me.....seems like it took forever

Yay John!! I have been waiting since last July...they put you through the wringer don't they before it's surgery date lol

Good Luck and happy losing!!

You're staying over night? Why?

I have to stay overnight too. My doctor orders

So I was supposed to be banded today...and now I am home watching TV and eating some deli meat.

CANCELLED!!

My husband and I were up at the crack of dawn. Got ready. Got our small kids up and to a friends house. Headed to the hospital. Checked in. In my pretty gown. Stuck 3 times because the nurse could not get the iv started. A bag of fluids in me, antibiotics. Saw the doctor...then the OR nurse came in. Problem with the heating. So the maintaince guys were in there. Once they were done, 18 minutes until we can head in. I guess it takes 18 mins until they have the room ready again.

Well then my surgeon comes in...problem can not be fixed. They need a part. Well I live in an isolated area, Juneau AK. So the part has to be flown in from Seattle!! My surgeon wants toreschedule for Friday, which won't work, since my husband has this whole week off and can not change it (needs of the military come first). So she squeezed me in for the first surgery tomorrow, UNLESS the OR is not fixed. Then Wednesday afternoon which now makes me sleeping over!!!

So I am not banded, lets hope a better day tomorrow. If something else like this happens I might call the whole thing off! So fingers crossed the part gets here today!!! (we are in the middle of a snow storm too!)

Oh wow, I am so sorry to this happened to you, but better safe than sorry! Crossing my fingers for you for tomorrow!

Had my post op f/u today lost 15 lbs and I get to start mushys today yeah

So sorry to read of this...what were the odds?? You seem to have coped well with the situation. I really hope that you will be able to have the surgery without any additional issues!

Sending positive thoughts your way...good luck!!

Wow, so sorry to hear about getting to the hospital only to have to go back home and wait another day. You have to get phsyched up all over again. But I hope it all works out for you.

Also....I want to say CONGRATULATIONS to all others just banded! You sure help alleviate some of my fear for my upcoming surgery on Wednesday! Thank you everyone for sharing your experiences!

Good luck to all the bandsters going in this week. Question for the group: I am 12 days post-op, NO fill as of yet but I have noticed that I can't consume no more than about 6oz then I am feeling so full. Is that normal with no fill??? Also, I am finding it hard to consume all my of 64ozs of water.

I do go for my 2 week check up on Wednesday....

myluv2drive... are you losing weight?? has the pain gone now??

Had my post op f/u today lost 15 lbs and I get to start mushys today yeah

Congrats on 15 pounds, that's awesome!!

myluv2drive... are you losing weight?? has the pain gone now??

Yes, I am losing weight!!! and yes the pain is gone. Somedays I have a little back pain but I think that might be some gas also. Thanks for asking though. Everyday is a better day and I am so glad I had this done.

OR is FIXED!

We get to do it all over again tomorrow, but hopefully I come home with my brand new band

Gotta love living isolated and remote!
