It will b here before u know it. I was banded on the 14th so I am one week old. Still have some gas, really rumbles sometimes. The worst part has been headaches that I wish would stop. I'm ready to move on to puréed foods.

We are all amazing and thank you for being out there to help me! ((Hugs))

I have been a stalker on here for some time and now I can say that I will be banded on Oct 25th. I am ready for this new chapter of my life. :) :) :) :) :)

Congratulation!

Went for pre-op on friday 10-18 and final surgical clearance. I received a copy of my fmla paperwork and was suprised to see the Dr put me out for 2 weeks. I was only expecting 1 based on our prior discussions and what most people have said.

Any post ops having painful burping? Gurgles of gas from throat don't hurt but burps do.

Yes, that would be me as well. Feels like the gas is sitting in the back of my throat forever, then hurts when I finally burp.

Ooh ouch!

Hi ms Vicki have a great day!

Heyyyyy!

I go back to work tomorrow for 3 12 hour shifts in a row. I am a little nervous. I want to remain hydrated which is hard at work. Also eating slowly on a 1/2 hr lunch will be a challenge. 7.4lbs down so far on post op day 6. My follow up appt is next week 11/1. I can't wait!!

I hope everyone is doing great post/pre surgery! :)

I'm 9 days post op now. Had my follow up yesterday. Everything is looking good. Starting on mushy foods today. Scrambled eggs were awesome. I go in 2 weeks for my first fill! I've lost about 4 lbs, but not really thinking about losing right now, just trying to heal.

Wow u get scrambled eggs? I can only have hard boiled eggs mashed up. You're so lucky! Lol congrats on your success.

Banded yesterday! Every hour I am able to get around better than the previous hour!

Congrats to all of the newly banded. I'm ten days post op and feeling pretty good!
