Hi, another texan here. I had my surgery the 16th. all went pretty well. I like you wlgbean, had alot of shoulder pain on my left shoulder blade, that was the worse. I feel 100% better now. Had my surgery done in Conroe by Dr Wilkenfeld. Looking forward to my first fill.

Hi,Tiffany, I to had my surgery the 16th in Conroe Texas. There was 3 of us done Friday and we all met at the Dr's. Office today. What you are describing is the same that the 3 of us talked about today. Some is gas and some is the swelling around your band.. They say it will get better. I've found that a heating pad is wounderful for this, I seem to get it for some reason in the afternoons worse that in the mornings. Hang in there your not alone Conroe

Hey, Feb bandsters I get my band tommorro the 16th.. Am very nervous and excited. keep me in mind Conroe

Hi, I am due to have my band on Feb 16.. and am very excited. I just recently stopped smoking I'm on week - smoke free. It's not easy and I could not have done it without some help. there is a new medication out there called Chantix. It is great it doesnt make you feel tired or anything like that it just makes you think I don't want a cig. Alot of people I know have and are using it and it works. I loved smoking and I gave it up that made me realize if I could stop smoking I could lose the weight with a little help. Good Luck Conroe

I have a question. I am being banded Feb 16 and I understand my liquid diet and also the smooth foods after that. But I would like to know from some of you that are losing weight what is a typical day of eating (menu) like for you? Thanks Conroe.

I'm glad there are several of us due to be banded this month.. I need to lose about 150.. so we are all around the same there also.Good Luck to all!
