    Hello everyone! I just found this app today & am so glad that I did. My sugery date is Dec 27th which is 2 days from now. So 2m is my day of all clear liquids. I've been really excited for months, but I find myself a lil nervous- "crunch time"; which I suppose is normal. LoL. I'm so happy to now be connected with people who are on the "Bandwagon" & understand. :)

    I was banded on 12/21, doing pretty well - just a bit of gas - also mother nature reminded me I was still of reproduction age about 2 hours after I got home after surgery. Joy. LOL

    I was banded on 12/20, and am still in a lot of pain. Not sure if I over did and am paying the price, or this is how it goes. Maybe I just don't have a high threshold for pain...

    I'm so sorry Debbie...is it incision pain or gas in the shoulder/rib area? I would definitely call your doctor tomorrow and explain your pain to be on the safe side...best wishes..

    Welcome Rockin Mom! I had so much anxiety, especially the week of surgery. Now my anxiety is gone and I'm so happy to lose weight!!!! I wish calm thoughts for you.

    When I get up or down, or bend, it feels like I'm being stabbed. I may just not handle it like others. And no, i've never had a baby, so nothing to compare...
