Pre op was a dream compared to the actually surgery. You've gotta be in the right mindset. Once that band is in place, it's all up to you. I've seen people have the band, eat what they want, which causes getting 'stuck' and then they blame the band. I'm only 2 days post-op and I feel like a new person from the inside...and eventually out:) its been a slow recovery thus far but I se the whole picture. Cheating ain't worth it. Good luck to you:)

Hi Bonnie. Hopin ur feeling better by the time u read this. I was banded Wednesday - and pretty sore, sleep hasn't been an issue. I'm using tons of pillows, and warm showers. I had to slow up on the pain meds cause they were keeping me dizzy and slowing me Down personally. Good luck:)

Still in hospital but doing better. Every hour is better:)

Hey Roxy!! I feel yet. Pretty bloated here. I'm on tylonal with codeine but only taking about every 6 hours. I'm better with less meds. That's what was screwing me up. Gonna fit in some warm showers today and little walks. Feel better:)

Hey and buddies I'm on day 3- Little sips is key. (per doc;) my clears don't include milk products yet, I'm jealous. Lol Real sore today cause I got in some good comfy sleep last night. As today goes on I'm plan on lots of little walks. I have some bloating, and some burping. Not to much gas below yet though. I'm sure it'll come. Good luck all. This is the best site!! So glad to not be alone through all this!!

I am banded. Was a long 24 hrs. Strong fight side pain near port. Meds and Anistisia know me out bad! But I'm much better now. Hope all my bbuddies r good.

I'm here:) wish me luck !!!!! & good luck to my band buddies!!!

I'm in tomorrow. Waiting on the hospital call for a time:) soooo nervous. But the fact ur doing well, Ames me a little more at ease. So happy for u.

Good Luck. I remember it all very well. Tomorrow Is my "BandDay!!!" I started my journey on March 27th 2012. Good luck!!!!!

Tomorrow I will be posting in the 'Post Op categories' !!!! Omg!!!!! Good luck to my fellow BandDay buddies!!!!

Good luck !! Tomorrow is our day:) woohoo!!!!

Good luck guys!!! Last day of work for me!! Surg wends and I'm nervous as hell! Trying to keep it under control. I keep telling myself it's natural...yikes.

Good luck! Prayers to you:)

I wasn't nervous till I really started to think. About being cut open. Yikes. I'm really excited, but not gonna lie about being nervous. I'm in really good health( beside being overweight) and feeling wonderful after losing 21 preop lbs. I'm nervous, cause I have 3 kids I need to come home too, that need me. But I'm putting all my trust in God. He's yet to interven and make me change my mind. So I'm doing this 100%. My surg is wend. Good luck to you!

Good luck. I'll keep u in my thoughts. My 'band day' is wends. My nerves are getting silly. But I'm so excited too!! Chin up, and don't let them prod u like bull;)

I just want to point out, if you ask a question, your gonna get answers. Some you may like, some you won't. But you asked. That being said...I don't think NC was honestly being rude or nasty. Just giving her opinion, and looking out for the rest of us in the online community. What ever you decided to do about the Alcohol I wish you luck. We're all different and unique individual's. What works for one, may not work for another. I love beer, used to be a big beer drinker. But my surgeon is big on the carbonated beverages not fitting into the Lapband lifestyle, so I've crossed it off my list 5 months ago. I do love me some wine though and I look forward to drinking responsibly in the future, but not a concern anytime soon. Surgery is Aug 15th...happy Bandday to me:) Good luck to you!!!! And have fun regardless!

Wow 30lb that's so great! I've lost 20 and were band-day buddies. Hoping in a week well both still be smiling!!! Good luck to us!!! Can't believe it's only a week away.

Dieting & getting healthy, 2 separate things. Change your mind set..it's not 20 lbs, it's a new way of life. :)As for being denied by insurance, personally I had thought the same in the beginning ..but the surgeons say any little bit you can lose helps with their surgery, and anistisia ect. They put all the papers through in the beginning, so i say just go for it. Get healthy, start now!!!- it will only help in the end!! good luck. I week till surg for me!!!!yay!!

Sound like your dpi g fantastic Roja. WTG!!! I'll be on this side in 8 days. Prayers all around:)!!!

I got spam for the first time, some name of Italianguy44. It said "don't have the band surgery. I can help you. " Didn't like that very much. Hope the site increases watch on this stuff.

I remember back in the day when I did Atkins, I had some crazy, scary down right Nasty dreams. And now that I'm on this high protein extreme 2 week pre op. it's happening again!! WTh - anyone else have this crap happen!!??
