Please feel free to respond to thi spost. I welcome all feed back. I was banded on 12-20-11. Today I feel worst, more sick to my stomach feeling, feeling more sore and more importantly..... peeing. It take s a while just for a tiny bit to come out. Has anyone had these issues rught after being banded?????

So, I'm home now. They needed to repair a hernia (which I'm told is common). My doctor was great and everything went smoothly. Although I was having second thoughts when I was waiting in the pre-op room. LOL! So, I stayed overnight. I then I did the x-ray and sent home. I didn't have gas pain but I do have some pain with on of the cuts. Nothing bad just sore. To anyone about to get surgery I would suggest to take the pains meds that are offers. It helps and like my doctor said...you just had surgery and during the busiest time of year. Take the meds and don't try to be a touh guy, You body will tell you when to take some. LOL1 Other than being tired and sore I feel great. Good luck to you all.

At 1:00 my Doctor will give me the tool to aid me in the start of my new healthy life. Little nervous but I can't wait.

Thanks everyone. My surgery is at 2:00 and I have been told by my Dr. that I will stay overnight. Then early in the AM I will have the xray and be on my way if everything looks good (around 9am). Guess this all just heavy on my mind. Two days to go to start a new long lasting future. Did I mention I would do anything for a steak? I'm starving. the last eight days haven't been so bad but today..... I feel starving and dizzy. LOL! Thanks for your comments and suggestions. There are no better way to receive them other than from people who have gone through it. Many thanks

My lapband surgery will be on 12-20. That's three days away. I'm so happy but now It's all I'm thinking about. I'm guessing this is normal. My surgery is at 2:00 and I just found out that co-workers are gonna stop by and visit me after work. However nice that is..... I can't believe I'd feel "up" for it since I would have only been awak a couple of hours at the most. How did you all fell 1-5 hours after you woke up from surgery? Did company at the hosptial make you nuts? Thanks!

OK.... so let me start off by saying I can't wait for the surgery. It's so important to me. But this diet is kicking my butt a bit. Today is day five and I'm sick of these protein shakes. I would do anything for a piece of steak. LOL! Tuesday is the big day. Can't wait. However; does anyone have any real advice for the few days after surgery? What made you comfortable? How much pain where you in, etc.? Any information from people who have gone through it would be great. Thank you!

My surgery date is 12-20-11. I can't wait. This surgery will change my life forever. This being said I'm on day two of this liquid diet. I'm starving!!! I'm a very picky eater. I don't like yogurts, cottage cheese or even soups. I'm living on water, crystal light and protein shakes. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get a slight "full" feeling?

Good luck on Friday and congrats on the weight lost. I'm doing better but I'd do anything for a couple of bites of steak. LOL! Please let me know how the surgery goes.

Well the good news is I'm loosing a pound or two already. Thanks for the tips. It's hard but that is what I signed up for. Plus my surgeon is the best I could ask for. He's a real person and treats you that way. I did cheat a bit though. I had five bites of iceberg lettuce. Oh well.... I'm starving. LOL! 8 more days to go.

Good luck. I'm on the 20th and I can't wait. This will be the first time I've done something for me...... and I'm sure I'm not alone. We are all worth this effort. Congrats

Congrats on the weight lost!!!!!

The last part of your blog helped me. I'm on day two of the liquid diet and I'm starving. I don't like soups or yogurt so it's very hard for me. But your right....... I just better get used to it. And if I loose some weight in the meantime...woohoo.
