Anyone getting banded this month or has already and wants to share their experience? I go in tomorrow for banding @ 8:30 am! I am excited as well as nervous. Any and all advice is appreciated.

I was nervous as I was being wheeled in. But it was worth it. I am adjusting to my new life style but am very happy about the weight loss. I wish you all the best of luck with your surgeries!

Hi, In was banded on the 21st. My surgeon has me on clear liquids until In see him again on the third. My only real concern was feeling likeb I needed to burp or hiccup. Getting use to that sensation. Lost eight pounds. Glad I'm in this place in life instead of kicking myself for gaining weight. Thanks to all of you for being by my side.

Sorry for the auto text.

All is well. I spent one night in hosp, No gas pains in shoulder, but I did get the dry heaves every time I got up. Not much pain, just some discomfort where the sutures were made. So glad to be on this side of surgery. Good Luck all you March Banders.

Congrats memebear!! Glad to hear you are doing well

I am glad you are doing well. I am good as well can't wait for Friday my staples will come out and find out what I can eat then. Hope our recoveries continue to move smoothly.

I am signing in a lot late, just found all of you on here. I was banded on 1/16/14 and have had my first fill 2 cc's. Can anyone tell me if you had around that amount of first fill, that you feel any restrictions. I don't seem to be feeling any restrictions and am worried about that. My doctors office said I needed to increase my protein intake which I did, but I feel I am able to eat way more than I should be able too. Worried...any suggestions or comments would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

My first fill was 4cc and I still felt hungry after... Just had my second fill on Tuesday and now have a total of 6cc and I can feel the difference. I am down 2 pounds since Tuesday...

Update I am officially down 40 pounds and have hit wonderland! (Just barely but I will take it!) woo hoo!!

Hey January 2014 bandsters! Hard to believe it has most been a year! How is everyone doing??
