Hello,

My name is Mallory and im new to the website. I will be getting banded in August on the 20th. Very nervous because this is my 1st surgery and never been put to sleep before. Anyways... need some help on how to get the little ticker like everyone has. Im like so lost!

Welcome to the forum. I think you will like it. You will also find lots of valuable information here to help you through your surgery.

I am also getting banded in August on the 25th. Take a ticker just go to tickerfactory.com and follow the directions. Copy and paste the bb code into you signature. It's that easy.

Im very young so hopefully this will help me in the recovery process. Only 21.

I too am scared of the whole surgery thing... My wife says I am worrying too much.

Malory,

This is a very easy surgery...you will be put under, but wake up really fast..or at least that was my experience...you will have lots of gas pains, but I just took liquid gas-x..I went back for surgery at 9:30 a.m. and was home by 11:00 a.m....I was at a surgery center..

REMEMBER: FOLLOW YOUR DOCTORS INSTRUCTIONS..... DO EXACTLY AS HE TELLS YOU.....WORK WITH YOUR BAND...DON'T TRY TO SEE HOW MUCH YOU CAN EAT(WHEN YOU ARE ABLE TO EAT) SEE HOW LITTLE YOU CAN EAT AND STILL BE FULL....

GOOD LUCK....I HOPE ALL GOES WELL FOR YOU...

Thanks for the information. I am only a little worried about the liquid diet because it seems very challenging but I will make it through

welcome to LBT!

i couldnt agree with Big As Life more ... follow YOUR doc's instructions and you'll do great! :thumbdown:
