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

Pre-op day 3 today and I'm not feeling to bad. I am having a hard time getting my water in. Was able to sleep on my side most of the night. I do have gas but it has been manageable. I do feel where the port is and that seems to be where most of the pain/gas is. Hoping it goes away. It is way better for the gas to go out the bottom than the top because it hurts coming up. Gotta keep walking!

Isn't he Great I got the news yesterday and was screaming thank you Jesus

There's no better!

I was banded on June 1 st. Doing much better now ....getting hungry though....

Blackleopard, do you live in the Toronto area or are you flying down? Where are you be being banded. Sorry about the 20 questions, I'm just excited to see someone getting banded in Toronto. I am being banded June 22nd at Slimband.

hi alleykat, I live in edmotnon, alberta and i am flying to toronto. I am being banded thur the surgical weight loss centre on june 29. well my mom and i r both getting it done at the same time.

I am home from surgery!! I am just hanging out. i have had 2 popsicles and sips of apple juice. I feel pretty good so far. I have been up and walking around a little to help with gas pain. It has been ok so far. I hope the rest of you who had your surgery today are doing well!!!

Glad you are home. Sounds like you are doing what you should to get rid of that gas pain (that is one part of that I am not looking forward to). Keep us posted on your progress.

Evening everyone. Sorry it's taken so long to update you all. I am home. Have been since 2. Surgery went great had a lot of pain initially but not so bad now. Very nauseous however. Have thrown up twice. Once in the hospital once here. Mostly been sleeping tried walking but that's what seems to bring on the naseau. How much can u all drink? I'm so thirsty but worried I may be drinking to much.

I had my surgery today as well and I have not really had to much of an issue with nausea. I have been takng small sips of water and juice through out the day. I have also eaten three popsicles and they have stayed down pretty well. I hope the nausea paases for you. The one great thing is that they put a patch behind my ear and said leave it for three days to help with nausea and it has been working great so far. Good luck!! I hear each day gets better and better.

Congrats on being newly banded.

Happy to hear from all of you who were Banded on Wednesday and gave us reports on how it went, how you feel (and are feeling) and that you're in recovery! Makes it easier knowing that we have friends ahead of us to give us the "heads-up."

Does anyone know why some patients get to stay in the hospital vs outpatient facility where we are just release out on our own? I have complicated health issues and a long drive home in Friday traffic after surgery. I would feel more comfortable being in a hospital overnight, but my center doesn't have that option? Hum?

Keep up the good work Friends Appreciate your posts! Thank you!

I will be staying in the hospital overnight. My Dr said my insurance treats 23 hrs the same as outpatient, so it could be due to your insurance. My Dr's office is connected to the hospital so it makes it handy for him.

I too appreciate everyone reporting on their progress. Thank you for taking the time to report when you are not feeling really up to it.

June 13tth is my day!!!!

I believe staying overnight has a lot to do with your insurance also. My insurance only paid for Lapland as outpatient.

Just banded this morning hurting in some spots and really nauseous going home in about an hour a half!!!,

I was very nauseous as well. Smelling those alcohol prep pads did wonders for me. Goodluck girl day 2 seems to only be gas pain for me. Still don't feel like eating but have been sipping water and apple juuce
