I'm not much on fish, but I know its good for u , so I need to learn how to like it .. : )

Good luck tomorrow everyone ???· I'm at 10:00 am! Also very nervous... Hoping everything is in order at home and at work. See you all on the "other side!"

Yes ' date=' u r the only one nervous about tomorrow.... its going to b a piece of cake ..... oh ! If only I could have cake ... : (

Just kidding ..... I have been staying busy every since I woke up this morning ...

Trying to get stuff done so I won't have to bother with it while I'm trying to recover ...

But now since I have finally set down to rest , I AM pretty nervous thinking about it..

My surgery is in ft.worth , Texas at 11:00 a.m. central time...

Let's keep in touch ... I will be thinking of u ... .[/quote']

Thanks! Im going to be thinking of you too! I wish my husband was more supportive. He's so removed from the process he doesn't even know where I'm going. He just asked me to give him the name of the place and address so he knows where he has to pick me up. He hasn't wanted to hear anything about it. Don't know why it's bothering me now. Anyway, Teresa we are doing this for us! We will be just fine. Lets keep in touch please! We are soon to be banded sisters.

I think our husbands must b twins... at least mine is going with me , only because there is a hunting store nearby .. I totally understand why it bothers u ...

My hubby keeps telling me " you're just going to leave me when u loose all that weight anyway".

It is so much on my mind... how sad , but true ...

I am still not familiar with this forum so if u want to email me .... teresa4u@sbcglobal.net ...... I think we might could communicate better..

What do u think ??

Good luck eveyone. My surgery is 7:30!!

Hi everyone! How did it go today? I was only at the hospital for 3 1/2 total hours. I feel good. Just a little gas and incision pain but definitely manageable. I have been walking and have taken some pain meds. Sooooo excited about the start of this journey! I hope everyone is feeling good and I can't wait to hear. Xoxoxo Rina

I am feeling good considering. I have some mild shoulder pain, and pain at the port site. I'm about to take some pain medicine before i go to bed. Everything went so smoothly. Anxious to hear how everyone else journey went. We are banded together now. :-)

Im doing pretty well. Have had pain but ut manageable. Staying in hospital overnight. Just releived to have it done and start on the recovery stage. Hope you are all doing well.

How are all the March 18th bandsters doing? I am down 30 pounds since my initial consult but only 10 of that has been post band. I had a post surgery complication and ended up in the hospital but I'm fine now thank God. I had my first fill today. Looking forward to getting back to losing.

Doing good.... I just had my first fill today also.... lost 25 pounds since my initial consult.. glad ur doing good now...

So my deal is how to get enough Protein.... I was told we could probably eat about 1/2 cup of food at a time ... wow

So puree food tomorrow , then get to eating right..

I was banded March 18 too!! In Ft Worth..or rather at a Medical Center in Roanoke, TX. My Docter is in Ft. Worth. I am down 35 pounds since my first consult in February. 15 since surgery. I am loving this not hungry feeling. Although about once a week I feel like I want to eat EVERYTHING!!! haha. I go for my first fill appt April 29th...and I'm not sure yet if I want a fill. I am pretty restricted at the moment. OH, I had the IBand...lap band with plication. So maybe that has something to do with it also.
