Who's Getting Banded in July?

[SLIM SLY 0]

Hi BeverlyDiane,

I felt the same way until I started having Soup at least once a day all the sweetness from the shakes was making me sick, plus I was using the myoplex ready to drink at work and it was making me gassy. The soup really helped now I am on my way to surgery tomorrow. I'm going to miss being able to mix my fruit in my shake after today, but I was told I couldn't have fruit in my shake postop.

Hi, I got my band at 10:30 this morning. Dr. Curry in Cincinnati Ohio was my surgeon. He is so great and so are all his staff.I feel a little sore but other than that I am doing fine. I spend tonite inn a hotel then return home. I live about 4 hours away. I highly recommend him.:seeya::thumbup::ihih:

I wish everyone getting their bands as good of an experience as me. moocatschade

Going on Thursday. Have not been nervous for some reason. I guess I've been researching so long that I feel fairly prepared.:seeya:

OK, I'm really doing this!!!! I leave at 7:30AM for my surgery in Mexico; which, is scheduled for Thursday the 24th. I probably won't have computer access, but I'll get back onto Lapbandtalk when I get back after the 27th. Wish me luck please And Good Luck to all of the upcoming Lap Banders!

Hi Mackie:

I don't know if a knot is normal or not. I don't have one. Can you be a little more descriptive? Do you mean a knot near your breastbone? Or a knot near your long port scar which is probably more common?

I recommend you post this question in the post-surgery area and see if anyone has had experience with it. I hope you get an answer, but anytime you are worried about something - call your doctor immediately!

Good luck and keep us updated.

Thanks Susan it work.When Im online I stay on these forums,I read alot.This helps me and you help me. Thanks so much.

I need to ask something, I have a knot right above where my band is.

Is this normal?

Thanks Mackie

[Charlene K 1]

Wishing you a successful surgery and speedy recovery!
