I'm officially banded! Just home today. In some pain but not too-too bad. I had my barium swallow test this morning and saw my band it was kind of cool. Hard to get in so much fluid because you don't feel like drinking anything. Slowly but surely. Good luck to everyone!

Glad to hear all is well!! I am right behind you, my surgery is 11/10

congrats!!!! I cannot wait until I start preop on Monday and go under on the 24th!!

Congrats! That is so exciting! One week from today is my turn! Veteran's Day, here I come!

Pre-op diet is stinkin' today. My family is eating food that smells soooooo good! Oh well, it will be worth it. I am just sort of hiding in the bedroom watching the election and surfing the web.

I've been on a pre-op diet for the past 11 days. Pre-op was supposed to be for 14 days, but my surgery was moved up. The nurse said it would be fine, and I was glad to go early!
