Sorry if this thread has already been started but I looked around a bit and couldn’t find one. I think that those of us who are scheduled for September need a place to support each other, help pass the time, and not spam up the boards with a thousand approved threads:tongue2:!!! I am so excited to being this journey. So, how about it? Any lost September banders out there? :ohmy::)

Banded yesterday..ALL went well, tons of nausea medicene. Now I am home and the soreness had gradually increased, especially when I get up or down. They gave me liquid percoset, but thats not really helping. At the hospital on was on a morphine pump, so maybe the liquid perk is just not holding the same ground as the pump. I am supposed to stay on a clear liquid diet for two days and then move on back to the plain liquid diet including oatmeal/cream of wheat, etc.. Im glad to hear everyone else is doing well and good luck to the rest of the "to be banded" !

I was banded yesterday also. My liquid pain killer isn't doing much either, no planning on taking anymore after today. I don't want to have the constipation that comes from taking pain meds. I wont be on oatmeal etc until my next doctor appt on wednesay..I been walking, walking walking and it helps way more than the meds.

John did your surgeon leave two small tubes attached to a little external pouch with anesthetic in it? They are telling me that I have to pull them out myself one the pouch is full..

its wierd.

No, sorry, nothing like that at all? Just a injection for putting me out, and then I woke with the normal 5 laparoscopic scars on my stomach.

Amanda,

I like your new picture, you glasses are very stylish!

Congrats, your weight loss is going nicely

Thanks alot! I like my glasses as well!

I have fallen off the list too...I think someone copied an early version of it...so I will add me back on. Tomorrow is the big day, flying to San Diego, then on to TJ Mexico, surgery same day...and fly back Saturday..

Good Luck to all going soon. Will post as soon as I can.

Love to all--

Kimberly~

Best of luck Kimberlyann!! I hope the long travel on Sat goes smoothly for you!

My surgery is all set for the 30th! YEAHHHH!!! I had my pre op visit with the surgeon today, and a class and pre op tests on the 28th. Then surgery on the 30th at 1:00. I am kinda glad its later in the day, we can keep the morning routine the same for our daughter, then just have someone pick her up at daycare in the pm. I have lost 20 lbs! I always suprise myself by what I can do when I put my mind to it. I really only ate much healthier, and tried to be somewhat more active. I think its the little changes that make a big difference. OK, time to clean house now.....good luck to everyone coming up this week!

Dee congratulations!!! So sorry the pain meds aren't working. I could not have survived without the Vicodin! It totally worked for me. Walking helps for sure! :tt1:

Hi guys, my scale finally moved again, I am 16 pounds down now! :tt1: Started mushies and feeling much better. I still get hungry between meals but I feel full with much less - about a cup of food, like we are supposed to do.

I also started exercising. I do a hike/run thing for 45 mins. Feels good to get back into it.

How are the early bandsters doing with weight loss and exercise?

Somehow I'm not on here any more... I'll fix it! lol
