Anyone else getting banded in December? If so lets keep in touch until our day.

I'm happy to report that surgery went very well. I went into surgery at 9. Woke up around 10:30 from anesthesia and left to go home at 12. I've been able to lay in my bed on either side and sleep for and hour and a half at a time. I've been walking around a lot in between naps. I have no gas pains. My pain in my stomach just feels like I did a bunch of sit-ups. I'm also tolerating drinking fluids well and have had nausea. I hope the rest of the day continues this well. I have no regrets!

So glad your surgery went well. The gas is by far the only discomfort I felt. Congrats!

I'm dec 17th!

I'm dec 19th!

Just getting familiar with this forum.

Someone responded before about some book.

They appeared to be trying to convince me that Lapband was bad. The post is gone. Was it removed by an administrator?

Mine is Dec 17 too. Lets keep in touch!

Absolutely!

Jms413- I'm on the 19th also! Anyone else?

Went for my pre-op group meeting … looks like my pre-op diet will be a bit diff. the next 2 weeks. Conflicting information. Ugh!

On the bright side … two weeks from today I shall be banded!!! Woot!!!

I am Dec 17 too. Lets keep in touch okay! I go for per-op on Friday the 7th and assume I will start my pre-op liquid diet the next day.

That is awesome shrinkingcassie!! I can't wait for mine 2 weeks!

Hope everyone is doing well at their present stage: preop, postop, recovering, etc.

Can't wait for Dec 17th! In case anyone hasn't gotten this tip, remember to bring

Chapstick to the hospital.

I'd love that! My surgeon has had me start my pre-op liquid diet yesterday. 600-800 calories a day only liquids.

Cassie, I'm so glad your surgery went well. Keep checking in & let us know how you're feeling! You were banded & home quickly, that's fabulous!

Hey everyone my surgery is dine. It was tough. They found a hiatal hernia when they went in and repaired it. Was under fir about 3 hours. Woke up with no pain meds that sucked. Nobody could find the order. But once i got them its been ok. Lots of gas pain right at the bottom of my breat bone. The WORST part is here they make u stay overnight and nothing by mouth until they get an xray tkmorrow. Jo water no ice chips nothing. My throat is so dry it hurts! But tomorrow will b better and on the road to recovery good luck everyone!
