I have a co-worker who had the surgery a year ago and has lost 42 lbs and I am so proud of her! She was my inspriation to have the surgery. I had my surgery March 23, 2011 and had my follow-up appointment March 31 and at that point I had lost 16 lbs. Me thinking she would be proud of me for my accomplishment...boy was I wrong! She said that I can't lose more than her, it took her a month to lose 16 lbs, it's not fair! (all her sayings) Yesterday she aked me what I was eating, I told her a 1/2 can of cream of mushroom soup and a couple of spoons of applesauce, she proceeds to tell me that it's okay for me to eat now and I said i'm fine, my friend asked her why is she trying to make me eat, she said because she's jealous of my weight lose!!!! I know she's saying it in a joking manner but I know she's being serious at the same time. So now i'm in a competition that I didn't even know I entered! SMH

I'm not thristy but I know I'm suppose to drink fluids as not to get dehydrated...but I'm trying...

Congratulations ladies!! We're band sisters...lol I'm not really hungry either! I stayed over night in the hospital they gave me chicken broth, sugar free jello, sugar free popsisicles{so good} & apple juice. I was nauseas about an hr after I had to drink that contrast crap to make sure there were no leaks...I threw all that crap up...ugh! But I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I don't get the gas pains but I've been up walking around so hopefully they don't come!

So happy to say my surgery was a success!!!! Had the surgery at about 7:45 am 3/23...woke up with slight pain but I was more cold than in pain. No pain in the incisions well just a little bit tender where the port is. No gas pains {knock on wood...lol}! I just get a little stiff if I sit to long, but other than that everything is going well! So happy about my decision!

Thank you...just arrived waiting to ne admitted!

Todays the day!!!! Head to the hospital right now....nerves, nerves, nerves...but its a happy, happy day!

Congraulations on your banding...my thing is I've never had surgery or been put under befoe! Were you in any discomfort when you woke up or when you go to sleep? I understand everyones pain levels are different

My band date is the 23rd of March and my nerves are starting to get to me! When I 1st received my band date I was so happy but as the days go by I'm becoming a little scared. Even though I haven't told too many people about the surgery I don't really know if I can talk to them about my fear. So I want to hear those who've had the surgery to kinda talk me of the ledge {so to speak}lol...

My surgery is scheduled for March 23rd and I'm so ready to start a new chapter in my life! I was researching about the lap band and came across this site and I've been reading all the post and all have been helpful in many different ways. I do have to admit I am getting a little bit nervous because I've never had surgery but I know this is going to be so worth it! I will be coming here frequently for help and suggestions. Thanks for listening!
