On June 14th I met with the doctor and began the journey of testing and evaluations. This coming Wednesday I will (hopefully) have my meeting to review my sleep study results and receive my final green light of clearance!

I am praying all goes well and that Amerihealth Insurance doesn't deny me after all these months of testing and anticipation.

I think a little puree turkey will do just fine this year for Thanksgiving… here's to crossed fingers for a November banding!!

Anyone else in the same boat?

Ok surgery over' date=' feeling sore and uncomfortable more than pain. The upper shoulders and chest from gas is the worse, my 5 incisions are various sizes, 1 about 1 1/2 in being the largest. My problem I have a nauseous feeling and I don't want to eat, only got down 2 of my 5 shakes yesterday and only about 16 oz. of water. My shake is going down a bit better this morning hope this goes away soon and the soreness goes quicker, down 2 lbs this morning. I think I want something in my mouth to chew well maybe with some substances but have to wait 2 weeks for that don't I . I did have about 1/2 sf popsicle last night it helped, (don't think I was suppose to have it ? ) Would like to hear from others who have just had their lapband done are we on the same boat LOL and best wishes to all November banders[/quote']

I had surgery yesterday. I can't say that I am in pain but definitely uncomfortable. I am fine walking but turning over or trying to get out of bed are interesting. My dieticians gave one set of instructions & discharge paperwork another so I have to clarify that today. Otherwise all is well on my journey.

My pain is not bad either. I do have sharp pains in my gas I'm hoping it's gas. I can only sleep on my left side.

I'm down 2 lbs from yesterday. I can't get down hardly any liquids. I'm mostly scared of throwing up so im afraid of drinking. Also afraid of taking my vitamins. Most of my pain is in my chest feel like a sharp knife digging inside of me.

Is your juice no sugar added? 4 oz wow. I can barely do 1 oz. I'm afraid of drinking too fast and throwing up

Doing well here. Had a small Protein shake this morning and now having a cup of tea. I wouldn't say I have pain from gas....just uncomfortable. I have these ThermaCare heating pads that are helping. Pain meds make me itch so taking Benadryl so I am super sleepy.

This is a breeze compared to my two C-sections!
