So excited. Finally have my surgery date! June 6th! Super excited and scared and nervous. Any advice tips or anyone looking for a bandbuddy please hit me up

Also I have stocked up on sugar free ice pops as well. Really helps with the sugar cravings!

Best of luck

My main pain is at the main incision site...the muscle in the area hurts.

Well, you take it easy you have a lot of healing to do. Keep us posted on your progress!!

me too!

I was done June 1st :-)

Banded today and the soreness when I'm trying to move it the worst part...I know I know then stay still LOL...the movement helps relief the gas. So glad to have found this group!!!!

The more you are able to move, the quicker the soreness will go away. My surgery is June 13th so I will be joining the ranks soon!

Good luck to all!!!

Same day as mine!!!! Good luck : )

Mine too! I had no per op diet at all. I even double checked today and the dr office said to just eat light.

Mocha Lala - we are being banded the same day! I still need a buddy, interested?

That sounds good! I just saw your post sorry it took so long! I've had some struggle with the 2 week diet. It is a challenge but the end result will be worth it!

This is my first post. I start my pre opp diet on saturday, and my surgery is on june 29 in toronto, canada. I am exicted and nerves all in one but i know i can do it with the help of my husband and my family. I have to do a pre opp diet for three weeks. i have three protein shakes a day and low calarie veggies. I was told it is to try to get ride of up to 25% of fat in your liver to make the surgery safer.

Feeling good tonight after surgery. Due to insurace i have to stay the night. Pain is very low and there is only 2 patience on my floor so its very quiet here. Loving it the time watching basketball with the hubby.

Looking forward to getting to know you. Sounds like you have a longer pre-op diet than me but we can do this!!

June 12th :)

I am now banded (3rd June) i have 5 wounds but only 1 is giving me pain, it also bled a little last night but seems fine today, going to keep my eye on in. I was glued back together which i.o not too keen on.

I have drank peppermint tea, had warm bags on my chest and try and walk around a little to get shed of the gas pain, it.s slowly going

Not looking forward to injecting myself today but it.s got to be done :s
