Iwas going to tell you to read the post I made to Ginger but you beat me to it! Glad to be of help!

Does that still make me a May banster or do I qualify for the June Banster category! ??? !!!

Looks like May to me! Welcome!

mammalee,

thanks for the food info...very informative!

I think I'll print it out and use it as a guideline.

(....2 more days!)

Thanks. What is the one thing that I should look out for or expect when the term "expect the unexpected to happen"....

Welcome.....YOu 'qualify' for May!

cmacinga, I would probably say the gas pain...even tho we will be expecting it...some make it sound like it may be worse than what we will expect. I'm a big baby, too so I will be on pain pills for a month!! KIDDING!

Thanks. Gas is no problem!

Hi guys - just wanted to check in.

I was banded on Monday and felt great. Tuesday, however, was a different story. The pain was intense, lots of nausea and dry heaves, also ran a high temp for about 6-7 hours. I spent the entire day questioning why I'd put my self though this!

Today is much better, all that's left is the pain, which is pretty tolerable at this point.

How are all the other post banders doing? And good luck to the future banders!

I had mine on May 7th -- doing quite well, just a bit drugged on light meds. The weather in Abilene is wonderful for being stuck at home -- heavy clouds, rain, and some thunder. I hope everyone enjoys their experience with the band, as I hope to enjoy it too!

Hey NVGirl!!! we have something in common -- as a matter of fact I know of another bander who was done on the 7th. So there's three of us right there!

woot! lol (I am not that energized, lemme tell ya!)

I gotta tell y'all something funny. When i came out of OR - I was groggy as all get out, and they made me get out of the freakin bed for some ex rays w/barium. You know "drink this" -- the stuff that tastes like ear wax? Well I drank it, and they were like "hold this rail that's over your head" so I did. Then they were like "twist" and I did, all the while thinking "am I supposed to be doing this?" then she goes "okay miss williams you're good to go" and I'm like "wait I'm not miss williams..." the nurse goes "OH we're not that far ahead yet -- don't worry she's getting the lap band too just like you.

Oh my freakin geez talk about almost have a coronary on the spot. LOL

Cmacinga... May 29?? You're a-MAY-zing!!!

Welcome.. YAY!
