Hey! I was banded on the same day! I am feeling so much better today! How is your energy? I was completely wiped out last week, but feel much more perky today. Keep me posted on your progress!

Congrats! I am glad to hear this, because I am one week post op & have had no problems other than a little fatigue last week. No throwing up or sliming...just burping! So glad you are doing well!

Congrats! I think you & I were banded on the same day! 8/22? I am down 14 lbs from surgery day. feeling much better one week out. Keep us posted on your progress!

Hi, all. I just got insurance approval & a surgery date! August 22nd! The day my new life begins. Now off to pick up Protein powder. Thank you for the support on this site. I'll update often. Excited & a little bit scared. Missy

Thanks! Keep me posted on your date & progress!

Thank you! Yes....I did have questions that you answered! I appreciate this so much. Great blog, too!

Good morning. I have been lurking for a few weeks, but had my consultation with my surgeon Friday and decided to join and post! Not only do I qualify (5'7", 256...40 BMI), but my insurance will cover my procedure. I have struggled since childhood, and need to be healthy and ALIVE to help my autistic son for as long as possible. I am excited at the prospect of having some control. I have not felt hopeful for a really long time! Of course, I am nervous, too. I've never had any surgery and am not sure how I will fare on the pre & post op diets. It frightens me to have my "drug" taken away, and yet....it is the very thing I need to do. Thank you for this site and the support it has already provided me in this journey! Have a wonderful day, all! Missy
