Im excited and nervous. I do a ton of reading on here and havent posted much. I have crossed my "T's" and dotted my "I's". I have been on the slimfast diet for a week now and feel great. I had a spell of dizzyness one morning but thanks to all the posted I found that I was dehydrated and drank a bunch more Water and am fine.

Good Luck to all that are goin thru classes and medical clearence and to this months bansters.

my surgery is a few weeks away, getting nervous, having second thoughts. Has anyone gone through this?

Hello, My surgery was on July 23, 09 and went smoothly, as I had an old incision from open gallbladder years ago. Except when waking up I was in quite alot of abdominal pain and shoulder pain. I am on Day 2 and still taking sips of G- 2 and broth and s/f popscicle 2 a day.. The gas pains in shoulder, chest, neck upper back is difficult and I have to lay on let side to get relief. I am walking around our home alot and doesn't seem to help yet.. Abdominal feels like muscular pain. My day seems to be rest, walk and sip and same stuff and am lucky my hubby took 3 boys out today as any stress with boys gets me more uncomfortable.. Best of Luck for those yet to b e banded and thoughts with every lappy already done...

You will feel better before you know it. I am close to two weeks out now and I felt like a new woman after one week post op. Hang in there and know you will feel sooo much better in a few days.
