Banded 4/10/07!

[Anniejo 0]

Hello! I have posted a couple of times plb (prelapband) and now I AM ONE! Much easier than I anticipated, having gas trouble but walking helps. Outside of that minimal pain, some weakness Natch! Went w/friends and the husband and I were the bandees. Our spouses were terrific. We are both doing well. I LOOK fatter and feel it but know it is gas remaining, etc., but oh wonder of wonders...NOT HUNGRY! That's it for now, will post when I have something informative to say.

I think this is how most of you close your posts:

banded 4/9/07

BMI 34.4 (204#)

aiming for 140

70 YOA - Yeah that's right! If I can do it w/a pacemaker, back surgery and old bones you young darlings can! jb

Oh, Dr. Aceves - Mexicali

Hi Anniejo---so glad all went well for you!!! Dr. Aceves did my surgery as well!

There is an April band group, have you checked in with them? They are a great group!

Isn't the feeling of not being hungry a great thing? It won't last forever yet----but remember how it feels because that feeling WILL be back to last!!!

Welcome to Bandland!!!

April 5th, i was banded. Doing well post-op. Occational hungry bouts, specially when cooking for the little ones.. its my challange. Dr. Cobourne and his wonderful staff did such a great job in Mississauga. L

Hi, How is your pain? Are you taking pain medicine? I'm not banded yet - I'm going through the process, I have my first doctors appointment next Wednesday. Did you have any test done or just consultations with doctors? Just curious

Thanks for any info

Pain is no problem, always better than my c-sections... They prescribe codine for ya i only took it the first 4 days. Always a consultation first, then pre op blood work. I live in Toronto, canada.

Did you have to go on an all liquid diet for more then a week? I was talking with a lady that already ws banded by the doctor I'm going to and she said hte hardest thing for her was a TWO WEEK liquid DIET. If I could do that for TWO WEEKS I wouldn't need the band! LOL

Yes, liquid diet is like being on slimfast. It is necessary to reduce the size of your fatty liver so the dr. can work in there.
