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

Day 5 post-op...seriously wish these gas pains would go away!! And holy crap we use our abs to do everything!!!

You are on my good thought list

Thank U!!! I was cleared and time is set.......

so glad to hear everyone sounds so good. yes, we do use our abs more than we think. makes you wonder why we don't have a tiny waist!

Ok so I'm at the stage of eating puréed food and I'm having a really hard time making foods that's taste good can anyone assist me?

I'm home as well. Surgery on 12/21 at 1pm and by 7pm I was discharged. Port site also tender for me. No gas pains yet but I've had a heating pad on my neck and back since I've been home...I think that helped a lot. Just been sticking to ice water and no issues with that. Apple juice sounded good. Had one sip and it just tasted way too sweet. Congrats to everyone else and I hope you are all doing well.

Well, I'm day 1 post op! I have some minor incision soreness and a little bit (minor minor) gas pain in left shoulder. Nothing a little walk can't handle!

Thx I'll try it!

I was banded yesterday and determined to go home that so i walked, walked, walked. It really does help. The worst part for me is getting up or laying down. That hurts!! Once im up or laying down, im fine. Now I'm sipping water, eating jello with a baby spoon and just relaxing.

We did it guys, we're here! Our new life is just around the corner!!

I'm so proud of us!! Way to go Dec. banders!!!

Hi there I am being banded on 18 Dec. I can't wait it seems it is all I can think of! I don't care that I can't eat Christmas dinner or anything. I see this as my present to myself I have not told anyone close. Can't bear the judgment. I do that enough to myself. Looking forward to keeping up with all your results.

Btw. I am in Australia so different time zone to all of you.

I don't feel like people should judge you for it, you are making one of the greatest choices of your life. If anything yell it out to the world!

I didn't want a lot of ppl to know either...it kinda bothers me that my mom told all of her friends. I should have told her I didn't want many to know...my fault, I guess.

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad I had surgery, I just don't want ppl to judge me & talk about me behind my back. Which they probably will regardless...but whatever.
