I was just banded on 8/4/2009... I am feeling sore and have some serious gas but happy that I am banded. I am not hungry at all and I hope to stay this way. I was banded by Dr. Antonetti. Did anyone else get banded this month already? How are you all feeling?

Congratulation!! Hope your recovery continues to go well!!

congrats... my turn is monday!!

Hi gabrielle I got banded on the third, and yes I am a little bit sore! I rather stand than sit, and I have to lay in one certain position so it doesn't hurt...but the pain is not tooo bad. My gas is getting better, I've been taking Gas-x and Tums....I have to buy pepcid which I heard is good also. I have not been hungry at alllll...I force myself to drink the shakes and a little Jello. I mix my Protein powder with 4 oz of skim milk and it takes me about half an hour or so to drink it.

Well keep in touch, since we have close band dates we can compare how we feel!!:sneaky:

Congrats!!!

Nice to meet you adelarosa. I am feeling similar. Hopefully the we will both see significant weight loss soon. :sneaky: I should get my staples removed next week.

Thanks for all the encouragement from everyone.

Gabrielle,

Congrats and welcome !! I am going in on monday so I'm going through ALL the emotions in the book right now and not to mention the teradactyls flying in my stomach ( they ate the butterflies long ago !!!)

Im glad to hear that you're doing well and hope you stick around so we can all get to know eachother !!

Cool thing is that I have lost over 10lbs in 5 days. Amazing... Good luck to everyone having their surgery soon.:thumbup:
