Hi all, was banded yesterday. Have bad gas pains, any recomendations.. I have been walking but still the pain is there I Wish I could just burp. Not taking pain meds it not that bad but it's very bothersome and my back has been killing me.. Slept with an heat pad on. Still doesn't feel to great..

Hi guys, thanks for the warm welcome.. I'm in Westchester NY .. I am really excited and nervous and I know this is the best thing for me.. I am so happy to have found these forums because there is so much support !! I wish everyone the best and hope we all can live happy and healthy on our new journeys..

Hi all, I wanted to know if anyone was from NY...?? I'm 28 yrs old an single mother of a very active three year old boy. Work full time as a AR Manager and I can not wait to be banded on 4/5, counting down the days. I have gain lots of weight over the past 4 years due too lack of mobility. I was diagnosed with bone cancer and had my knee and femur replaced (twice). I tried to push my self so much and i caused myself to break the prothesis. Anyway I hope with this surgery I will walk better and be more active so I can keep up with my son., Ohh and of course look good for the summer..

Ohh no, I'm having my EKG tomorrow, now I'm nervous..,

Yes the days are countin down ppl, can't wait. I'm soo exited and nervous...

Thanks everyone, I watch ppl YouTube video diarys about there journeys and just saw a gal talk about v8, was just curious. Thanks

Hey guys. No one has added v8 drinks on the list, are they good? Can we have them?? Helppp shopping and want to be prepared, lol

My SO honestly does not know. I told he back on oct I was very interested and he was against it. I am 100% ready and can't wait. Me and him not not married, we have been together for 8 years and have a son together. I wish I could have told him now, but I'm being banded on4/5 and don't want any negative vibes.. My entire family knows, some of them don't understand why I'm getting it but they are not being negative about it. I want to stay positive and happy about my new journey to come

Wow, you guys are almost there .. Congrats, you will be in my prayers. I will be banded on 4/5 counting down., good luck and can't wait to hear everyone stories, keep me posted..

Woo woo April 5th and can't wait.

Wow, congrats and you will be fine. It's simple procedure don't worry. I will be banded on 4/5 and probably will be just as worried like you.. But I say to myself I had 2 surgeries that were over 9 hours long, if my body can handle that it can take and hour., stay positive and you will Benin my prayers. Keep me posted on ur journey, u will be great

I have only told my immediate family, and 2 coworkers that I trust.. So am not ready to have ppl being negative.. After surgery I can deal with, not before, I just saw a YouTube video with the girl stating she have V8, So I was curious b/c no one else has mentioned it. Never had v8 before guess down the line I might try it. I am not on a diet before surgery, except for the day before all liduid diet.. Mg surgery at 7 am. What about you?? Getting anxious?? Are you worried about Easter, u know family gathering with lots of food..., I know my Easter will be a nightmare, my family has a big get together. And I have so many niece and nephews there will be sooooo much chocolate, ughhhh

Wow!! What a amazing story, just know that you are not alone.. I myself feel like you, I was always fit and very active untill I turned 21 and was diagnosed with bone cancer. I had to have my knee, femur and hip replaced twice. I am not active and just started to aim weight. Because I have a prosthetic in my leg I have many limitations. Now I have a three year old son I can't keep up with. I know getting banded will be great for me. And no matter what ppl say, I chose to only tell my immediate family and no one else needs to know. They just won't understand..when are you having ur procedure??

Wow, we'll your job is way more important then mine. Have you informed everyone about being banded?? Do you know if v8 juices are good for this?? Trying to prepared ... Lol

Hi guys, getting banded April 5th so excited and nervous.. I have been reading so much info and making sure I'm ready for this lifetime commitment. Can't wait, how long has everyone taken off of work for?? Hope I will be okay, have a very active 3 year old son.

I am going back to work that following Monday the 9th. Hopefully will be okay, I sit down at my desk.. How about you??

Okay I have a date and I'm really nervous but excited. I just wanted to know how was you day after surgery?? Was there lots of pain?? Can you walk fine?? How long did ppl wait to go back to work?? Just curious

Wow.. Where you from ?? Are by nervous?

Hi all, I will be banded in April 5th.. Really excited and happy to have found this app off my phone so now I can ask questions and read ppl stories..
