Hello Everyone! I'm new to this site. I had my band on 7/27 and am down 13 pounds so far. There will likely be so many questions from me as I hear this process is like childbirth - you just don't know what to expect until you go through it yourself. I'm nervous about all of this but excited at the same time. I'm still in the post-op diet of yogurt and milk and cream soups but am getting through that. Only one more week of that and then I move on to just a few different foods. And I just I just wanted to say hello to everyone out there. I'm looking forward to everyone's insight on a journey I am just beginning.

Welcome and congratulations on being banded. You'll find a lot of good info. here. Jump in and ask questions as they arise.

howdy and welcome!

This is a great place to come for info and support. Search the forums and read old threads for good info. Ask questions and enjoy losing weight and getting healthy. Celeste

Thanks to everyone! I'm looking forward to reading and replying to all sorts of stuff! Things are good so far. I find myself a little emotional right now, but I have read that is to be expected. My mom says maybe some "post-surgery depression" but I've never heard of such a thing. Was anyone else emotional like this following their own surgery?

I was banded on 7/18, so we are fairly close together. Welcome to the site. I've been a member for quite awhile and learned a lot on here about what to expect. I'm down 16 lbs., but only had to do 2 days of fluids after surgery. Good luck to you.

From one Olivia to another... hello and welcome to the loosing side - BANDLAND!!

Congrats on your surgery and i hope you have a speedy recovery..

Look forward to chatting to you in the future!

Best wishes
