I am having my banding done Friday at Ochsners medical center in New Orleans. I have pretty much been on a liguid Protein Shake diet for the past 10 days. I thought I would lose lots of weight on this liquid diet....but I have not. What about yall?

Getting banded on FRIDAY! So excited -- more excited than scared, actually! I'm on my liquid diet, and though I've cheated a few times :X, I'm pretty positive everything will go smoothly. I quit smoking in December 2010 because my surgeon asked me too but I'd suuuuuuure love a few right now!

Good Luck to everyone and I hope to see some progress pictures, I'm sure I will post some too. Hugs.

I am having my banding done Friday also...good luck...

I'm so glad I found this because I've been worried about the pain as well. My sister just had Gastric Bypass and I helped her out the first few days and she was in a lot of pain ... I know it's a more invasive surgery, so I knew it would be less painful.

I have my surgery on Friday and feel SOOOOOOOOOOOOO much better that I won't be in too bad of shape. I'm hoping to return to work before the first week is up, though they're very flexible and I can take all the time I need.

Cheers to a new lease on life!

I am having my banding done Friday also. Mine is at Ochsners in New Orleans
