Tomorrow is just a few days away from me starting my new life journey. I have my pre op appointment @ 9 am and my surgery is 8/20. I am so excited and can hardly wait.

Just follow the surgeon's directions and you won't have any problems. Buy all your broths,SF posicles,nonfat greek plain yogurt(Fresh n Easy), SF jello(no fruit) and have plenty of Protein shakes. It's better to have a weeks worth of supplies ready and have a working heating pad (shoulder area pain from gas).

I was Banded Aug 6, 2012.

Best Wishes and Good Luck. Keep us posted.

Thank you!!!!! and yes I did view you were banded this month and I hope all is well with you. How is everything going for you so far? And yes I will say that i will have all my supplies and do as my doctor says most important key is to follow orders. I have learned that a lot on here.

I have been doing great!. It's already been a long week since my date. I can't believe it's over with surgery and I get to use the tool. After surgery don't get discourage if you don't lose much weight. Remember there's NO fill in yet. And recovery slows your body down somewhat. Take your pain meds, they are important to sleep well and get rest. If you're able to take some days off, I recommend it. Aug 20 is right around the corner. I go to my first post-surgery doctor appt on Aug 21. Waiting too see how I am. Hugs

Honestly I dnt want to look at the scale until I fully recover and as for time off I am off for a couple of wks so I will enjoy that time off very well!!! Lololol
