Getting banded Friday

[CEOReady16 3]

Hi everyone, I'm 30 years old, married with no children yet. I'm getting my band on 2/26/16 I'm nervous I've never had surgery before. I'm struggling with my pre-op diet but I won't give up.

Being banded is a wonderful tool for weight loss. But it looks about 40% of people have issues in the first 4 years.

The surgery can be fairly easy; outpatient and home by the afternoon. The apprehension and worry was way harder for me than the actual procedure.

I hope you have a successful weight loss like many of us. It changed my life!!

(Sorry to say it appears I am a bit of a thread killer.... They just seem to end after me.... Is it me ? Do tell.. I don't want to be that person!)

My surgery was the 24th. How are you doing with starting foods?

Posting just so Julie doesn't get a complex.

Ang1129 and Npdavis surgery went well and I'm 2 days post op. I've been trying to stay hydrated and walk. I've been doing a lot of walking yay for me. I feel like something is in the back of my throat and I can't get it out. So far so good.

I'm 4 days post op today and feeling pretty good. Still a little sore but not pain. Walking and getting out of house helps. Back to work tomorrow. Feeling great. Good luck to y'all.

I hate to discourage anyone. I have had my band 4 yrs. It has to come out. My surgeon doesnt even do them anylonger
