Hi all. I am getting banded the 5th march and am very excited. I just have one concern, I haven't been given a list of what liquids I eat/drink in the first week. I will have to go shopping on the weekend. What should I have on hand?

Deb looks like xoxo was pretty nervous God Bless her! her last post 1am. I remember the anxiousness but so worth it!

Hi everyone!! I'm all banded!! :-). Yes you were very right smiley, I was incredibly nervous. The sense of relief when I woke up in the recovery room was amazing - closely followed by the ouch, ouCh OUCH feeling. Nothing a few shots of tramadol didn't fix.

I am back home now and just woken from a 3 hour catchup nap - the night in hospital was less than restful with my drip pump alarming on the hour!

I feel pretty good. I have six scars. The 2 on the left are a bit sore. My dr told me I am one of 40 this month he is trialling with a new port. It's a glue mesh one you hold down on the muscle for 2 mins, no stitches required. It doesn't hurt at all yet.

I have only had Water & a sip of apple juice so far and am graduating to a broth for dinner.

Happy banding to me. :-). Cheers smiley.
