Hey everyone! I was just banded in Texarkana Texas on July 25th. This website has helped me out so much. vicki:)

How r u doing?

I'm a little sore. I was so nervous when they did my surgery. But excited!

Well that's awesome!!! I wasexcited as well until I found out today that my insurance won't cover it and I don't have any other means. So needless to say I'm glad someone else has some good news to report.

Good Luck!!

Welcome to LBT and to bandland! Glad you are doing well!

Welcome to band land! Here's to great success for you!

:whoo:

Hi Vicki, how are you feeling today? Looks like it's been a few days now. How is it going? Remember to take it easy and heal right now. It's not about weight loss yet :-) Let us know how you are feeling, ok?

HI Vicki, hope all is going good for you. I was banded july 24, 2007 and this is my fourth day out and it seems to be alot better than yesterday. So when you read it gets better by the day, that's right!!! I haven't had the gas pains just incision and port pain. Well just wanted to wish you a healthy and speedy recovery.

Vicky, how are you doing? I had my Lapband Surgery on 7/24/07. I'm sore, but getting better daily. Since 7/13 when put on special high-protein food supplements I now have lost 15 lbs, which I think is great. Had to see Dr. on 7/26 for infection at port wound site, but that is now clearing with the two antibiotics he prescribed. Would like to know how you are doing. Talk with you soon, Debra

Thanks for welcoming me. I have lost about 10 pounds so far. Still sore with gas pains. One of my incesions bled alot but it has stopped. Cannot wait to take off the strips and see them myself. But I do feel good. I'm walking to post office and bank. Anything to get moving.

Thanks you for your reply. Still sore this morning. But I know that the pain will go away. Still glad I did it.

I'm feeling good. Just would love to get rid of gas pains. So glad I did this. Looking forward to a great future with my husband and kids.

I'm new just tonite to this site. Hope I'm doing things correctly! I'm not much of a computer chatter!

I had my LB on 7/19/07. I'm doing okay but I have questions about what exactly I can eat at this point.....will see Dr. Collier/Conroe, Texas tomorrow......should clarify things then. I started on a protein drink 2 1/2 weeks before the surger & lost 11 lbs. I think I'm down another 9 since the 19th. I really want to eat some mexican food and pizza!

Cyndiet- I was banded on July 24 and I have to be on 2 weeks liqiud. Anything I can blend and it can fit through a straw. 3 protien drinks a day. And then pureed/soft food for 1-2 weeks. Every DR. is different so the best thing is to ask, but from the ones I read on here that sounds pretty normal. Good Luck!!!

Hi Everyone I'm Cherie. I am going for my band tomorrow 8/1 and I'm so excited I can't wait to be able to run with my kids and actually keep up and not be out of breathe so easily.
