Hi there! Got banded this morning!!! Feel pretty great now. Woke up saying "ow, ow , ow, ow" but they got if under control pretty fast. I was so worried. It was my first surgery as well. Cant believe how dry my mouth is but other than that I'm pretty good. excited for this next chapter!

Congratulations! I'm day four post op, and still pretty sore, especially around the port, but getting a little easier each day. I had dry mouth too! My doctor gave out Cepacol lozenges to help with that. Best of luck moving forward! I am definitely sharing your excitement. Let's do this! :P

I am scheduled for September 25th my self in Pittsburgh area of Pa. Good luck to you I'm getting nervous only 2 weeks away tomorrow!

Yay!! Not too many PA peeps on here! ! I get banded 9/26 in Erie! I get to the Burgh every few months... we should keep in touch!!

Going to bed, hopefully to sleep! Surgery tomorrow. I'm too tired to be nervous but I'm sure the nerves might kick in tomorrow. Have really appreciated all the pre-op & post-op advice I've received here! :) It's made me feel prepared, welcome, and loved! I will keep everyone posted as soon as I'm able. My new life begins tomorrow.

to everyone that is going to surgery in the month of Sept good luck!my is on Sept 27. cannot wait, this month is running slow for me.

I've had a hard time keeping up with you all but I really appreciate reading all the posts. 830Pm here in Seattle tonight and I check in for surgery tomorrow morning at 530. So thankful that I'm done with protein for now and ready to get this over!

I'm getting banded on sept. 28th....like everyone, I'm so scared and excited as well, not looking forward to the pain....I just keep telling myself it's all temporary...

I agree we should keep in touch! I will be having my surgery the day before yours! I did also notice not to many Pa people on here either which is weird because there were tons of people at the diet counseling. Good luck to you! I'm nervous/excited :)

Hi guys and gals, half way through pre op and lost nearly a stone!! I have been going gym everyday so that's helped as has using the sauna. This time next week I will be banded - keep strong everyone -

Good luck! I am getting so nervous and excited I can't imagine how your feeling. My Dr. Does not require the pre op diet so just Hangin in there waiting for the days to pass!

Latest are added!! Up to 71 scheduled and 5 still in a holding pattern.
