Ksaug21 I go in April 30th

Hey fellow April 10th surgery pals! I'm scheduled for 11am (10hrs and counting!) and stuck awake not bc I'm nervous but because I can't decide what to wear to the hospital!

Hope my 4/10 surgery buddies have safe surgeries...definitely check in tomorrow when you're feeling up to it! So excited this step of the journey is finally here!

Not quite the same but as there aren't many in my position I hope you guys don't mind me joining you. I'm getting a band replacement on the 27th April, so will be going through what you guys will be going through, plus some. I could use some hand holding too! And offer holding of others' hands.

I don't have to do a liquid diet until 3 days beforehand due to my different circumstances but I did it when I got my band the first time around, so can empathise.

Good luck to you! May I ask why you're having a replacement band? I had to be on preop diet for two weeks which wasn't too bad! My surgery is tomorrow I am getting very nervous but still a little excited! It seems like the days flew by for this day... a month ago I couldn't wait and seemed like forever now it's tomorrow lol! Again good luck to you!!

I had mine yesterday and am doing great so far a little sore but good luck to you

My band is leaking. I've had two ops to resolve it (port replacements) but it's still leaking so it's a full replacement next.

How do you know when it's leaking?

I was in the green zone for 3 years, easily maintaining my weight. I'd get the odd 'maintenance' fill annually to keep me well restricted but didn't really have to do anything else.

Then in Jan 2012, I lost all restriction. So went for a fill and after a week I lost restriction again. Next checkup, they withdrew all the Fluid and discovered I'd lost half of what should have been in my band. So there was definitely a leak. I did get tests to eliminate the possibility of a slip and erosion as well and in every other respect, my band is perfectly placed. Just leaking.

was banded yesterday all went well congrats to u guys that were banded as well new life here we come

I was banded April 10th and following the dr's orders to a tee so far so good hope everyone else is doing well
