Hi Everyone!!

Good luck to everyone that has already been banded!!!

I am getting banded Sept 10th and would like to have any other sept banders to jump aboard and let support each other like never before!!!:clap2::whoo:

GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL! I am getting banded on September 21st with Dr. Sass in Chattanooga, TN. I can not wait, I am just so excited to get my new life STARTED!

WOO HOO!!!

I was banded in Detroit on Sept. 18th. This is post-op day 3 for me and I feel really good. I am pleasantly surprised at how easy this has been so far. I am, obviously, a little sore where the incisions were but the pain is well controlled. This has been an easy surgery so far and I am looking forward to shrinking down into my next size. Good luck and keep me posted.

Hi Everyone! I was banded yesterday (September 19th). It went very well. I did have a problem with upper back pain and chest pain, which they attributed to gas. Last night was rough, but with pain medication, gas x and some sleep I woke up feeling a lot better. I still feel kind of weak today, but I am resting when needed and get up when I can and move around. I am sipping a protein shake right and have hiccups!

This is going to be a very interesting journey for me and for all of us.

I am definitely up to the Biggest Loser challenge next month. Count me in!

Congrats to all my fellow bandsters...and future bandsters!!! I was banded on the 14th of this month, and feel awesome! My port incision is still a little sore, but I'm doing okay! Still not doing any hectic activity or lifting anything heavy...per my doctor's orders!

I go in on Tuesday for my first post-op check up! Will report what he says asap!

I'm up for an October challenge...as I want to lose 45 pounds by the end of the year! I'm hoping to be released to exercise in early October...we'll see!!

Wow, what a little cheerleader you are, you go girl, I up for it!!! I won't be banded until Sept 28th, started my liquids the 18th, but am doing well on it. I will post my weight on Oct 1st and lets just see how we all do by the 31st. This is an exciting journey for me and October is my most favorite month ever, I am looking forward to it!!!

I would love to join you I am getting Banded on the 28th in T.J. With dr ortiz. Is anyone else getting it done by him or on that day? Would love to hear from you, also all of you who got banded earlier in the month. Go Septbanders! This support means sooo much I have not told a sole I am doing this so it, is a nice outlet and support.

banded on sept 7th and doing good. I still get the occasional gas and still have a some port pain but nothing bad. I have head hunger really bad. I am on the purred food part. It is much better the further we get thru this diet. No nausea. Walking alot every day. Cant wait to get my first fill on oct 9th. eating 1/2 cup is still hard even with a baby spoon. I found some chicken and roast beef spread. it is really good with some light mayo. I was missing meat !
