Dr appt went great! He said I didn't need a fill since I have lost 7.5 lbs since surgery! I'm happy that he was happy I go back on July 5 and will prob get a fill then!

My appt is 2ma well actually in about 8 hrs...and for once I can't sleep! I have 2 b up in 4 hrs...but I'll def let you all knw how it goes!

He was concerned about me getting the lapband because of how far I live from my dr's office (like 2.5 hrs). He was afraid that I wouldn't keep up with my appts and such...but I'm very determined to prove him wrong...lol. I knw I haven't done as well as I need to getting my water in has.been TOUGH!

I with all of you some days I feel like I can eat just as much as before but I've noticed tht if I try to eat more than my band will allow I get that stuck feeling...I go for my first post op appt 2ma morning I don't knw if I'll get a fill but I'm thinking I will. Hoping tht my surgeon doesn't talk too bad to me

Whewww....I couldn't imagine!

Yep mine itch too

My Dr didn't say anything about them either,but they've been comin off on their own.

Heyyy everyone! I haven't posted in forever...I was banded on the 14th and had to have a hiatal hernia repaired...wheww...painful! My suggestion is if you have to get that done be prepared to take a few extra days off of work I knw I did! After that healed up I felt a lot better! Things have been a lot more challenging than I anticipated...it's a major mind thing...I feel as tho I should go see a psychologist to talk thru this...my head says eat but my bad says hell no...head hunger is a B! I go on Thursday for my post op appt...kinda nervous about what my surgeon is gonna say and if I'm gonna get a fill..will kinda suck bn that my bday is Friday...lol..guess I will have to celebrate next wknd! Anywho...I will have to do better at keeping up with this board! Congrats to all the newly banded peeps and those getn banded this wk!

Lol...I guess so! Good luck to you as well! I just got my iv and now i'm waiting...still not nervous or anything

I'm in admitting also...just waiting...surgery time is suppose to b at 8. I couldn't sleep got mayb 2 hrs of sleep. I'm not nervous at all either! Yayy May 14th bandees! Wish all of you the best of luck and all of us minimal pain!

So what exactly does one do being at the hospital 3 hrs early for surgery?!

That's great Tammy!!

Good luck 2ma MZ and Nat! I'm soo with ya on tha hungry part!

Hope all of you that are in pain get some relief soon! And also congrats!

I was just wondering if anyone knows how the surgeon decides what size band to put it...

How are all of the newly banded peeps doin??
