My tentative surgery date is July 23rd because of my work schedule. It may change by a week but it looks like I'm gonna be a July baby. Anyone else out there that will be banded in July?

I am getting very nervous and excited. The time is finally here! I kinda have cold feet though. Is that normal? Hoe many cuts do you guys have? Are they about a inch long? I just have so many thoughts and feelings and questions. Lol

Ugh! Surgery in the morning at 9 and I can't sleep, this blows

I got my band placed yest. Tired and sore

Hi there!

I am getting banded, TODAY!!! My family is having lunch and then we are off to the hospital. Not really nervous, but just ready to get it done. I could kill for a drink (of water) right now and unfortunately for me, I am getting hungry...ugh!

Wish me luck!

I cant see my incision cause its in my navel and thats the only incision that i have and i am doing well moving a lil faster drinking liquids just waiting on the rest of the swelling to go down this is the best decision i could of made!

I got the powder from my Dr's office meowmom..

Hey Dawn...Where do you get the flavored protein power?

I got the powder from my Dr'ofc meowmom... Sorry for the repeated messege.. I am still trying to learn this site..lol

I can't seem to get rid of all the gas. That's the only thing that's driving me crazy. I did really good most of the day' date=' but whenever I drink something it seems to get worse. Ugh....ready for it to be gone. I am getting hungry! My hubby cooked a really good meal tonight and I soooo wanted some, but I wasn't about to risk it. I think I'm getting hungry because I'm not drinking enough protein. I just haven't been able to stomach them like I could. It seems to leave a yucky taste in my mouth all the time. Trying to keep hydrated, but it's hard.[/quote']

I haven't been banded yet, but I understand the gas .. The shakes are killing me!!
