I was banded yesterday morning!!!! Came home this morning!!! I'm doing GREAT!! No nausea...no shoulder gas pain....up and about (slowly). Drinking fine Dr. said I was a model patient.

Now if I could pass this other gas...lol...I would feel much better!!!

My prayer for everyone with upcoming surgery is that they do as well as I am doing!!!!

you go stocky!!! you are going to do great. i am going for my first fill on 3/23/2006 and i am really looking forward to it. i can still eat way too much...even though i don't. i have lost 10 lbs and my surgeon tells me i will lose much more after my first fill. i hope so ...i keep reading these stories about people losing 20 and 30+lbs the 1st week and i get really discouraged. why is it some people lose so much before the 1st fill ? anyone out there with some answers?

Water weight would be my guess. I have to just remind myself that I knew the lap band was the slower more healthy route. I don't think I really want to lose 20-30 lbs the first week anyway. No one outside my close family knows I did this, so I would have a lot more questions to answer.

Remember Slow and Steady!

Done on March 7th, Dr. Aviv Ben-Meir, St. Vincent Charity Hospital in Cleveland. Had a rough start with some complications, but everything is smooth sailing now. No matter what, it's worth it.

I am 19lbs down 22 days in. I was banded on 3/4/2006 by Dr. Kuri in Mexico. His new hospital was the cleanest nicest hospital I have ever seen. I think I got much better care than I ever have in the states.

I have just had lapband on friday, March 24 - I am 65 pounds overweight, and hope to lose all by Christmas. Feel great, very very sore though. Told me to be on liquids for 2 weeks. Having no problem with that, when I start getting hungry, I drink a little bit, or sip some broth, and it satisfies me. Still getting rid of gas on my stomach, but not a bit of nausea. Praise the Lord!

I am leaving tonight for Mexico, my surgery date is Friday the 31st. I hope all goes well, I am more than a little nervous and I'd appreciate positive thoughts. My sister is coming with me but she has to leave Saturday. Hoping I could get through the clear liquid stage. What kind of liquids has helped everyone else get through that first week I wonder? I love this site, I've learned so much, lurking, but now I am officially posting. I hope everyone's March surgery is a rousing success!
