Hello all March Bandsters - I was banded on March 1, 2007. I am feeling great - I've been up walking and not hungry at all. I think this is going to work. If you are banded in March I would love to keep in touch since we will all be in the same boat.

Welcome all March bandsters.

I could find a March Bandster page so I created this one - only to find it later. Here's the link:

Hi, I am getting banded on monday the 12th. I'm super excited but really nervous because i've never had a real surgery(thank gosh its not very invasive). Im hoping to lose 40 to 50 lbs. by graduation which is at the end of may. So enough about me how did you do with the liguid diet? its only for a few days so it should be easy. but the mashed foods is gonna get tricky! I would love to keep in touch with you so i can know how well ppl are doing! and CONGRATS on your new self!!!!

Well today is the day I get banded. Thought I would be more nervous, but right now I am doing ok. This board has been so helpful. So many questions have been answered. It's one thing to read the literature from the company that makes the band, but hearing other real people's experiences is absolutely invaluable. Anyway, wish me luck today.

Regards,

Keith

Good luck, keith!

Good Luck Keith...please post when you can so we will know everything went well and you are doing fine.

Hello Everyone. I was banded on March 1st and I have been recovering well. Except on day 5 I have been having pain in my shoulders and back. I think it was from gas from the surgery. I wonder if you can massage is out. Has anyone else had this problem. I came upon this sight a couple days ago and I am so happy that I found it. I also had soup today hot and sour soup so it had some tofu and I am scared that I messed something up I feel guilty.:phanvan
