Good luck Anita! Let us know how it goes.

Definitely keep us updated. I like hearing everybody's stories.

hi everyone,

just wanted to let you all know that I have been banded. Had my surg yesterday in mx. Dr. Alvarez and his staff were so great. I wen alone, and everyone was so welcoming from the driver (rosy) the wonderful nurses that took great care of me. Dr. A (very cute by the way) the hotels I stayed at were awsome. I am at one now. I leave tomorrow. I have very little pain, only gas pressure. I even went to walmart, target, and tj max today and walked for about 2 hrs. Getting up out of bet can be a little interesting. But I gt it done. For some rason i feel like a new person already. I have had no nausea or vommiting. Just very windy (he he) I am so ready to see my famil. I miss them so much. Good luck to the rest of you guys I know you will do great!

I am so glad you are doing so well. I hope your trip home is good and you aren't in too much pain. Take care.

hey everyone! Well I did it!! I'm banded! and lost 5lbs already!! i just have gas pains, not really bad but just not very comfy! I cant wait until i can finally sleep on my tummy! I'm doing the clear liq. diet for the rest of this week. Im not hungry im just very thirsty anyone else have that problem? also for those of you who have been banded a while, am I ever going to be able to just gulp down a glass of cold water without pain?

Congrats! I am glad you are doing so well.

I am wondering the same thing about the Water. I am a gulper so I am going to have to learn to take small sips.
