Hey Kah and Bama, welcome to the banded side!!!! Glad to see you both are recovering!

Omg! Yes yes yes... I scratch all around the incision. I think it's because they are healing.

Fabulous!!!!

I have 4 small and 1 that's about an inch long!

You all are probably banded by now!!! I'm praying for u all-

Good luck for all having surgery tommorrow ! Let us know how you are after when you feel up to it!

You are going to be fine!

Kah, it might not always help! As you know, I did everything and I had gas for days. Mine didn't start right away, but when it did... OMG! I tried everything people posted to do- Gas x, heating pad and walking- try this as much as possible. I even tried mint and ginger tea. The Ginger tea made me burp, but I still had gas! No way around it. Just walk walk walk to minimize it!

Im newly banded but It's your decision your body! I agree with what everyone is saying- for me, I made the decision to get the band because it makes you do some of the work, slower weight loss is always healthier and as we all know it's a mind thing- we eat with our heads and eyes not our stomach!

Congrats and welcome! I was banded may 18th. Come on over and subscribe to the may Bandsters forum under Pre op

These pains were bad for me. They didnt start right away either. I walked, used gas x, heating pad and drank Ginger tea. The Ginger tea made me burp so that was a little relief. The heating pad worked great as long as I had it on me- it relaxed me. I hope something works and gives you relief. I finally did, but I took so much and did so much not sure what actually worked.

Congrats!!! June is just around the corner, I'm excited for you. I remember previous post from you and they were giving you a hard time- but you got ur date!!!! Are you really excited? No need to answer your video says it all. Goog luck and make sure u go shopping for the things you need post op.

I need to try the laughing cow cheese- I've always bought the Cabot 50- Jalopeno and the cheddar.

Even though I'm not on mushies, I did a little sampling today! Soooo, my hubby made some veggie burgers on the grill, chicken sausage, feta and spinach chicken sausage and he made bush veg. Ff baked beans and put crumbled ground turkey in them. And I had a spoon of everything. I felt fine. I chewed chewed and chewed. I was full after tasting-- I took a little piece of the veg. Burger, and chicken sausage. Yum! Back to my full liquids tommorrow!

I'm excited for you guys joining us and being banded w/ plication Tuesday! Yayyyyy, it's going to go so fast. Try to enjoy your weekend cause when you go check in it's going to be in and out so quick you won't have a chance to be nervous ! Send a little note to us when you feel up to it- praying for all of us to be successful and a speedy recovery! Nothing can stop us now - we will be BANDED! :-)

I finally used the potty! The pain meds cause lots of constipation the sooner you can get off them you will be better off ! Whew what a relief!

I guess I will get better, still don't really have a appetite. I just had some Ginger tea. That tea seems like it's going to help. I still have gas, I can feel it moving around and hear it too!
