  1. I am home now drinking my liquids and feel good...No pain from the gas (yet). My throat is sore though... Doctor only made 3 incisions. I have the standard size band and it was filled 4 cc.
  2. Thank you...When is your surgery?
  3. I got the call from the hospital to be there by 6:30 am tomorrow...Surgery is going to be around 7:45 am. I'm soooooooo excited!

  5. Who was told to go on a specific pre op diet and who wasn't? I don't understand why some have to be strict and some don't...I know that in the end we all have to shrink the size of our liver, but why do some people not have to diet as long or at all?
  6. Funny... the nurse who instructed me about pre op eating told me the EXACT same thing!
  7. I am having 2 protein shakes (breakfast and lunch) and a sensible dinner (low in fat). I am a bit hungry before bed time...
  8. Who else has a surgery date of October 24th? I can't wait...
  9. Tammy12 are you doing the pre op diet...If so what are you doing?

    October Bandsters?

    My surgery is on a Wednesday 10/24. I am definitely taking off from Wednesday to Monday 10/29 ( that is my post op appointment ) . Then I will get a doctor's note and see how I feel. I am a high school teacher, so I don't want to have ANY pain/discomfort whatsoever...my job is stressful enough...
