Anyone in Surprise or using True Results?

I had my first appointment in January and hope to be banded in April.

It is March 7th :)

My thoughts are with you!

My update: I was banded first thing this morning so I'm only around 6 hours out. They repaired my hernia too. I have been home for almost 5 hours. I'm only a little sore. Mostly at the port site. But the pillow helps that when coughing and moving. And I am keeping fingers crossed that I'm one of the lucky ones because I have had minimal gas pain so far. I have my gas ex and heating pad for the little bit that I do feel.

Yay! I'm official now! :)

I'm doing pretty well actually. I haven't had much gas pain at all so I'm thinking I'm a really lucky one. Not too uncomfortable anymore. Still a tad sore at the port site but not too bad. Having a hard time "eating" as much as I'm supposed to so far. Drinking is easy but I'm having to force myself to drink all my shakes. I'm just not feeling hungry all all.

It sounds like you are doing pretty good. I hope all continues to go well. How does it feel not to be hungry? :)

Sorry! I just saw this! I wasn't hungry at all for the first 4 or so days. Now I'm hungry. But it doesn't take too much before I feel full. I'm working on teaching my head to recognize when I'm satisfied, rather than just continuing to eat because it tastes good.

That's ok! I hope everything is still going good!

On Monday I had my last appointment now I'm waiting for insurance to be approved. I am still hoping for April 19th. My surgery will be at 19th Ave and Bethany.
