3 more days until I get banded can't wait its been such a long journey the rims has finally come. Any advice for a newbie lol

Follow you post-op instructions and when you are ready for solid foods, meet with the nutritionist for good suggestions. A successful Bandster is a compliant one! Best wishes as you begin your new life!

Will do and thanx:)

Become friends with your team (doctor, PA, nurse, Nutritionist) and ask lots of questions. They are your best resource, we are just mainly support. Also, do what they tell you- each doctor is different as is each patient. What my doctor told me he may not tell someone else, they look at you and your insides and tell you what to do based on your needs- so trust them!

Don't go against what they tell you, you can do damage to youself. I have followed my doctors and nutritionist instructions to a T. It's been 5 months and my doctor told me yesterday that my case was picture perfect. I have lost more than most do in 5 months (who start at my weight) and my band looks awesome.
