It's done!! I was banded this morning around 12 noon and I'm unbelievably excited!! Crazy to think I've looked forward to it for so long and now it's done! I lost 20 lbs pre op (I was on a 14 day liquid diet). The worst pain has been the gas pains but it wasn't in my shoulders starting out it was in my chest - seriously felt like what a heart attack must feel like. Nurses said the only thing that helps is getting up and walking around so that's what I made myself do. I had SO many people praying for me today and I know I have the Lord to thank for how well it all went today. My pain meds don't knock me out like I thought they would but I'm sleeping well enough. All my clear liquids are staying down well enough - no nausea -PRAISE THE LORD!!

So excited about starting the rest of my life!!

That's awesome, congrats. I'm scheduled to get banded this coming Thursday and as you can imagine am quite nervous. Did you stay in hospital overnight?

Congratulations. I'm still trying to get approved. Looking forward to no more insulin needles.

Congratulations!!!!!

Happy Birthday! Congratulations! A new life is on the horizon.

It's been 5 days for me post op and I am feeling soo much better!! Attitude of gratitude like yours will get you where you want to be much faster! God bless you, take care. And Congrats!!

Praising the Lord right along with you!!!!! As a Christian, I just feel like the Lord has provided this band for me and for this long losing battle I've had with weight. I have one week left and I'll be with you! So happy for you!!
