RN here also in Louisville KY, banded in aug. 31st 2011, congrats on your decision, best choice i have ever made for myself other than my job and family. good luck to you on your new journey

Hi, I am an RN in Delaware. I had my surgery on January 9th and I have lost 35 lbs. Very slowly is seems to me but my doctor thinks I am doing great. I currently have 6 cc in a 10 cc band and for now I think I am doing just fine with restriction, not too tight but definitely limits how much I can eat. Hope you have great success!

also if you have any questions, pls feel free to message me, good luck

Hello I am glad I made the decision too. This is my time and I am happy

Hello, I am a medical assistant in nursing school. I was banded on 03/06/2012 and have to say it was one of the best decisions ever. Would do it again if I had the chance to do it over. Good luck.

How was it. Did you have a pre op diet? So many questions I guess I am just anxious. Congratulations on your success

I am a family nurse practitioner- I have my psych appt today and will hopefully get to see the surgeon soon and be banded sometime in May or June. We should start a group called "Obese Healthcare Providers Who Know Way Too Much"

I'm a nurse in southern California. Banded 3-1-12. Have lost 40 lbs. had two week pre-op all liquid diet. Surgery was a breeze. Took about a week to start feeling like myself again. Any q's feel free to ask!

When is the soonest you could have gone back to work? I have a desk job- not physicaly demanding at all, but I have to go back as soon as I possibly can.

I waited two weeks. Could have gone back at one week but no way sooner. Sitting for long periods really irritated my port site also

I'm a nurse, too. I'm hoping to have my surgery by June/July. There sure are a lot of us. Too busy taking care of everyone but ourselves.
